[Nfb-krafters-korner] summer fun with Kids

[joseli Walter]

I remember when I first met you in one of my mom's classes. She'd packed
pipe cleaners for me to play with that day along with the book I was
reading.

Okay, the truth is, I went to Shipshewana yesterday. Walked all day and had
a great time. I brought home fresh produce to take care of today and forgot
that it is Wednesday.

Here are a few ideas to entertain the kids when you forgot to plan.

Butterflies

materials

plastic clamp clothes pin

pipe cleaner
tissue paper

Dirrections

Place of colored tissue paper in the clamp of the clothes pin. Use the pipe
cleaner to make the antena.

If you have a butterfly net help the kids catch their butterflies.  They
look beautiful hanging in the window and will flutter when and if we get a
breeze.

We are hoping for rain around here.  Do you have a rain gage in your yard?

You can make one by taping a ruler to the outside of a clear plastic jar.
Have children record the rain fall for a while.  No rain YOu say?  Well,
measure the water from your sprinkler.

Here is a cute idea for a hat for little girls to make during dress up.

Materials

crepe paper streamers
cupcake papers

tape or glue

Simply glue the flowers, cupcake papers, to the streamers and tie uner the
chin.

I always kept pipe cleaners in my purse for those long waiting room times.

We could make designs, animals, flowers or letters and numbers.  How about
making a pair of glasses using pipe cleaners?
