Find out how to make a tissue paper flower bracelet for Mom on Mother’s Day. This would also be a great bracelet to wear in Spring or for Easter. Find out how to make it with this great crafts tutorial.
For this craft you will learn how to turn normal paper into a fun, translucent stained glass decoration which you can hang on a window. It’s a definite eye-catcher. In this craft we will be making an Easter decoration that will look gorgeous hanging from any window. You can chose to print off the templates I have below or you can simply draw and color your own…. the choice is yours. So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
This activity starts as a coloring page, then a craft, and finally a board game to play with friends or family. We have provided you with two templates to print out: a game board and a sheet of six movers.
2011 is the Year of the Rabbit, so today we will be making a Chinese-style fan with rabbits on it. Included is a template with 3 rabbit outlines, but you can also draw your own. Just make sure they aren’t too big.
This is a great project to do while thinking about Martin Luther King Jr’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Specifically the quote “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” This craft can help remind us that all colors, whether they be the colors on a piece of paper, or the colors of our skin, can work well together and create wonderful things.
For Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday, why not make a poster or wall hanging full of your dreams? This craft can be done at home by one or two children on construction paper, as in the example, or as a class project, if you use poster board.
