Jennwa's Inbox- Jack-O-Lateran

I love Jennwa's Inbox.


Here is a question from one of my reader's, who is also a friend and parent of one of my preschoolers:


Jenn asks:
I will soon no longer need to recycle. I have discovered your site and now I can just craft myself to a greener world! I have a bunch of empty formula cans, any suggestions?

My solution is to make Jack-O-Laterns. I did not have any formula containers, so I used oateal containers.




You will need: Formula container or Oatmeal container, construction paper, scissors, glue, and pipe stem cleaner.
Cover the container with orange construction paper.
Poke a hole in the top of the container and stick in a pipe stem cleaner for the stem.
Cut out the shapes for the face and leaves.
Glue on face and leaves.

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.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

Image
This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Book Chain

Scribbit's Winter Bazaar Rocks in My Dryers , Works For Me Wednesday When my daughter was learning to read, we started a book chain. Every time she read a book we added a link. She was so excited to see her chain grow. It eventually went around her room. She was always so proud. Colton is starting to read books, so we started his book chain today. He too was excited to add his links. I thought I would share this, maybe it will encourage you little ones to read. I am always looking for ways to encourage my kids to read, do you have any tips that you use? If so please let me know.
