Flower Watering Bottle

It is so busy at my house right now, and we are not getting any crafts done. I thought I would repost the watering bottle.


I found this idea in a book called Crafts To Make In The Spring by Kathy Ross to help me out.

It is a watering can you can make to let the kids help water your plants. Cheyanne really enjoyed using this to water the plants.




You will need: 2 liter bottle with cap, nail polish, scissors, nail, colored tape.




1. Poke 5 to 10 holes in a group in the top of the bottle.


2.Paint the bottle cap with nail polish for decoration.


3. Decorate the bottle using pieces of colored tape.


Fill your sprinkle bottle with water, then put the cap back on.

Your bottle is now ready to go water the flowers.

Hello. I am a new comer to your site. I love it! Thank you so much for sharing the crafts.

My daughter made the toilet paper shark a couple of days ago. It was fun. She loves to make things and since she does, I have piles and piles of her masterpieces. I was wondering how you store or showcase the items that your kids make?

Thanks,
Susan Hight

Ooh, I really like this idea. Phoebe is forever wanting to water the garden, but her little watering can doesn't hold much. This is a great way to recycle too!

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
