It's crafting time!

This is a cute reindeer we did at preschool storytime in December.

What you need:
Paper plate
Construction paper
Pom pom for a nose
Wiggle eyes
Foam cut in the shape of ears
Markers or crayons

• Trace hand print antlers on construction paper, color, and cut out.
• Glue, tape, or staple them to the top of the paper plate.
• Color plate if you want (I was lazy).
• Staple foam ears onto plate by hand print antlers.  
• Glue on eyes.
• Draw a mouth.

Bubble Wrap Snowman

This is a cool craft Ms. Katie and I are going to be doing in Special Kidz on Saturday, January 21, 2012.

What you need: 
construction paper
bubble wrapbuttons
Q-tips
paint
felt 

I used the 18x11 construction paper and cut the bubble warp the same size.

• Paint a snowman on the bubble wrap. Use a pretty good amount of paint. I don't think you can use too much but you can use too little.
• Leave bubble wrap painting laying down and put the construction paper down on top of it.
• Peel construction paper off bubble wrap.
• Cut a nose and hat out of felt and glue on snowman.
• Glue on pom poms or buttons for eyes and buttons and q-tips for arms.
• Add extra snow and whatever else you want, I have just given you the basics.

Craft Away!
