Another Thanksgiving Corn Craft

This craft is not only cute, it is yummy too. You can eat on the extra popcorn while you craft. This really is a cute and easy craft to do.


You will need: Popcorn (popped), a paper grocery bag, scissors, glue, Ziplock baggies and paint red, yellow and orange (acrylic or tempera).










Pour a small amount of paint into a baggie. Add some popcorn and shake until popcorn is colored.

Repeat with the other 2 colors.







Allow time for popcorn to dry.










Cut out the shape of corn from paper bag.

This looks fun!!! My 2yo would love doing this craft. I wonder if you could use food coloring instead of the paints? Seems like it may dry a little wuicker and there may not be as big a mess?

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
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

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.

Father's Day Card

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
