Flip Flop Fly Swatter

Here is another cute way to use those cheap Flip Flops. My kids love fly swatter, so they loved this craft.
We used: A pair of children's flip flops ($.75), fly swatter ( 3 for $1)or a wooden dowel, hot glue or craft glue, scissors, craft knife or sharp pairing knife and artificial flowers.


Cut a slit in the middle of the back of the flip flop.
If using a fly swatter, cut off the top and place the handle in the slit or slide in wooden dowel.

Glue to reinforce the handle.



Decorate the flip flops with artificial flowers.

LOL!! I love this :) I usually prefer to use my fly swatter with a follow up stomp from my flip-flop but this would save a step (pardon the lame foot pun!)

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.

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.
