I was lucky to have a day with one of my grandsons. He is so mellow and just enjoys life that it creates a great day all around him. (okay, I am his Grandma Eli but really, it's true)
He had a buddy ready to do crafts with us.
The first craft is nothing new, unless you are a three year old boy who just learned today what a volcano is! We put glittery pieces and baking soda together in a small jar. Place the small jar in another container and poured in white vinegar and whammo! It blew up everywhere. He loved it. I think next time I will use valentine cupcake sprinkles in place of the glitter so it dissolves easily.
He loved it and gasped as it blew over the sides. We saved some so he could repeat it with his parents.
Next we used old valentine prints.
and popsicle sticks and wax paper.
We laid out four popsicle sticks lengthwise.
Cut a piece of wax paper the same length plus an inch or two.
Cut the wax paper lengthwise.
Glue the sticks to the top.
Fold each section.
Pick out some valentine pictures and we glued facedown.
Stand it up and it will naturally shape into a cube.
Glue the inch edge to the last side to form and connect the cube.
We put in a fake candle and set in the bathroom to see if it worked.
It did!
Next was an adult craft but I had my grandson pick out the decorations.
Here it is . It is done the same way we did the tea cup crafts and new year's champagne bottle. I will probably make one each month - smile. Here are past ones, check out the blog for the how-to.
peace
