T-shirt Scarf

I went to a craft night, the other night, at my sisters house.  We made scarfs out of t-shirts.  I saw one on Pinterest that I really liked.  Oddly enough I even had a t-shirt that was almost the same color.

(I wish I could get a better picture.  If I do I'll repost it)

It was so simple, I cut my shirt in 1" strips, tied 1 end together, braided, and then attached the two ends together and took a little strip cut from my t-shirt to cover the combined ends.

Not much of a scarf for warmth, but very stylish. I was so excited to wear it!

Caterpillar

I was watching my neice and nephew one day, and while the little kids were sleeping I wanted to do a craft with the older two.   We made caterpillars out of pom poms and a popsicle stick.
Supplies needed:

I did one with the kids to help show them how to do it.  They each were given a popsicle stick and a plate with glue on it.  They dabbed the pom poms into the glue and placed on the popsicle stick.  When they had the body all finished, I helped glue the googily eyes on.  Then I cut the pipe cleaner in 1/4's and we wrapped it behind the head to make the antenna. 

These were a lot of fun. They made 2 each.  Next time I think we would need to use more glue, they didn't quite stand up to the playing of 3 year olds.

I have seen cute blogs that have made the Hungry Caterpillar and that would be fun to do.  All you'd have to do is added the food! Who doesn't love the Hungry Caterpillar? :)

Jelly fish

Wow we do have a lot of rainy day crafts.  We made a jelly fish out of styrofoam bowls, ribbon, and marker.

Supplies needed:

2- styrofoam bowls

markers/ paint

ribbon- cut in a different lengths

string

paper clip

elmers glue

First decorate the out side of 1 of the bowls.  Then you want to take ribbon and glue them on the inside of that same bowl.  We glued closer to the bottom.  Then take the remaining ribbons (use different sizes) and glue them together.  Set those aside to dry.  

Then take your 2nd bowl and put glue all around the outside of it.  You then take the 1st bowl and set it on top. (Be careful not to get your ribbons in the glue)  

You then poke 2 holes in the top of both bowls (that's where you pull your string through) then take the paper clip and run the string in it and clip the cluster of ribbons in it.

This would be really cute to make a few and be able to make an aquarium.  I hope we get around to that. :)

Cotton Ball Sheep

It was a rainy afternoon, so Parker and I made cotton ball sheep.  I couldn't get my printer to work so I had to hand draw the sheep for him.  I then put glue, on a plastic plate, for him to dip the cotton balls into glue and put on the body of the sheep

He loved it.  Great activity and not very messy!
