For the past few months I've been meaning to stop by the craft store to get some fun stuff for Maddie and I to do on my days off and weekends. As much as we both love Play Doh, it's just getting old and we need some variety. Today we finally made it to Michael's and picked up a boatload of stuff. We spent about $50 but the stuff that we got will last a long, long time and we can do so many different projects.
Here's what we purchased:
foam shapes w/ adhesive on one side (shown below)
construction paper
finger paints
make your own animal foam sets (shown below)
wood birdhouse
paints for birdhouse
pipe cleaners in lots of colors
googly eyes
colorful cotton ball type thingies
sparkly gems
glue
tissue paper
And, there's more but that's all I can remember right now. We came home and got right to work on a few "arts and crafts" (that's what Maddie calls it!) projects. Today she stuck about a million of the foam shapes to construction paper and then colored around them with a marker.
After that, we made a few of the create your own foam animals. Now that was fun! Her favorite part were the googly eyes of course!
Next up will be a tissue paper tree, painting the birdhouse and some egg carton bugs! I know I'm no Martha Stewart, but the kid sure thinks it's fun and so do I!
