Let's Go Sailing

25
Feb

We are still focusing on transportation as our theme this week and today we made a sail boat.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s what you’ll need:  construction paper, hot glue gun, clear contact paper, straw, scissors, the bottom of a soda bottle, paint dobbers.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Cut a triangle from the construction paper and decorate it with the paint dobbers.  This will be your sail.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

While your child is decorating the sail, you can cut a slit in the straw about 1/3 of the way down.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Use the hot glue gun to glue the straw into the bottom of the soda bottle.  Glue the non-cut side into the bottle.

Once your child finishes the sail- cover it with contact paper to keep it from getting ruined when it gets wet.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Slide the sail into the slit of the straw.  Add a thin line of glue with the hot glue gun to the side of the sail to keep it from falling out of the straw.

Put your boat in the water and play!

Add some people and enjoy your boat.

Letter of the Week- Letter K

24
Feb

Sorry that we went missing for a few days.  If you read Livin’ With Me then you know that we are preparing to put our house up for sale and we have just been really busy.  But I really need to work on doing at least a daily craft with Hailey because she needs her routine and loves doing crafts.  So, we are back!

This week we are focusing on the letter K and we made a King K.  Like many of our letter of the week art activities, I found this idea at No Time for Flashcards.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s what you’ll need: a large letter K on construction paper, two other pieces of construction paper, colored pencils, some sequins, glitter and (not pictured) glue.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Color the letter K.

Add a crown to your K.

Wheel Painting

Our theme this week is transportation and we did a really simple craft today.  Hailey loves these kinds of activities.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Here’s what you’ll need: paint, paper plates, construction paper and cars (or anything with wheels).

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Dip the wheels into the paint and drive the car on your paper.  Hailey was thrilled with the result! 
( This will work best if you spread the paint nice and thin on your paper plate.)

Add another color.

Glue the shapes on to the construction paper to make the truck.
