Some Fun Crafts for the Little Ones

Good Morning all...
It is sunny here today but a little on the cooler side... :(  better than snow I guess..

 I thought these were so clever and cute..they are actually switch plates....easy to make..

see instructions here.

Look how easy and cleaver these little "bottle boats" are to make for any little one

you could even throw in your GI Joe's.... :) Also a good way to make use of those plastic bottles we all seem to accumulate...directions on "how tos" here...

I love this idea, any little girl would it on her bed. And its such an easy craft to 

do... see the easy to follow directions here...

All you need are streamers found at any party store and scissors and tape, now how simple is that? 

Here's an easy "Bubble Blower" using a plastic cup...too cute..see how here

I saw the coolest way to use plastic bottles over on "playfully learning's blog" and also over at "child central station blog," these are so simple and really look like a lot of fun..I want to try one, don't you????

A great way to make those LONG bubbles...lol...see all the details at "HowDoesShe?.com"

Of course there a lot of things around the house you can use like:

   Straws of all sizes, Open end of an empty plastic soda bottle (blowing through the thin end),                Fly swatters, Trash pan with open slats,  Small or large funnels

Make a "Basic Bubble Solution":

• 1 part liquid dish soap
• 2 parts water

For colored bubbles, add:

• 1 part washable paint

Another recipe for homemade bubbles is as follows:

• 1 cup dishwashing soap
• 6 cups of water
• 1 tablespoon of glycerin (makes stronger bubbles for bubble-blowing activities)

For colored bubbles, try adding a few drops of some food coloring.
