peaceful_sandsI like this project, because it's more or less just recycling things I'd got around the house anyway. Be warned though, it's messy and takes more than one session to complete - but while we made snowmen, the options are pretty limitless. If we'd got more time, I'd have made hats and noses for our snowmen rather than just painting them onto the final model, but we only had a couple of hours left on the day before Christmas Eve, so time was short and I also needed them to have dried enough that I could pack them away/wrap them as gifts.
What we needed - empty plastic drink bottles (we used three 500ml Evian bottles and three 750ml, sand, newspaper and a paste - we used something akin to wall paper paste that can be bought at the local craft supplies store - wall paper paste works fine but be warned that some of these contain an antifungal ingredient which is not always good to use with children.
I did this project with a three year old and a nine year old.
( Under the cut are the details and photos of the project )
So has anyone else been up to anything fun, while the kids have been off-school?
