Paper Bag Dragon

Today, the kids and I made these cool paper bag dragons. The boys and girls both like making these.



We used: Lunch sized paper bags, scissors, glue, construction paper, wiggly eyes, crepe paper, and toilet paper roll.









First open up the paper bag and cut a mouth.








To make the dragon's fire, wrap the toilet paper roll with crepe paper. Then glue on some flames.






Decorate the dragon. Hold the toilet paper roll with your hand to look like the dragon is breathing fire.
The kids made scales on the back and wings on the side.
Crepe paper glued to the back of the bag to look like the tail.






















Here is Cheyanne's girl dragon. Pink and Purple.

These are super cute! My son came home with one of these from camp this past summer. It got a lot of use. They used a green gift bag as the base to decorate which came out adorable as well...

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.
