Craft Ideas for the little ones

So I have decided to start blogging about some of the crafts I do with Autumn so that we can share our ideas with our friends. I will try to post a few times a month and see how it goes. So if your looking for ideas come check it out. Hopefully you can do these with your little ones too.


Today we did a "stained glass" craft.
What you will need:
Glue
water
bowl
paint brush
tissue paper squares
and a piece of construction paper cut into shape of your choice (We did a cross for Easter)
Pour some glue into the bowl and add a tiny bit of water. This will make the glue more paintable. Let your child paint on the paper with the glue and then have then stick on the tissue paper squares. Let dry and your done. So simple and fun.


Here is Autumn's when she finished.

This craft can be done for any season/Holiday. You can do shades of green on a clover for St. Patricks or Shades of yellows on a chick cut-out for spring. Be creative and have fun with your little one.
