How to build a teepee-style fairy house, and why we'd recommend it as a great, sturdy, and easy to make fairy house for your yard.
We had so much fun making our very own castanets the other day. We got our inspiration here but I've seen other versions on pinterest since. They're super easy to make and lots of fun to play with. All you need for each castanet is a strip of fairly sturdy cardboard and two bottle caps. Recycling diy at its best! It's really easy to replicate from the pictures but I'm including instructions -because some days you'd just rather follow instructions! 1. Cut a strip of cardboard to your required measurements (ours is just over 13cm by 4cm or just over 5 inches by 1.5 inches) 2. Fold the cardboard strip in half. If desired, you can decorate the cardboard: draw on it, paint it or do whatever you latest craft-crush dictates. (Alternatively, you can leave this step for after the castanets have been completed.) 3. Now you want to glue the bottle caps onto the cardboard. If your little crafters are very little, make sure they are gluing them on the inside of the folded cardboard piece. Put glue on the jagged edge of one bottle cap and place it on the edge of one end of the cardboard strip. If your cardboard is the thick kind you can press the bottle cap into the cardboard for a better grip. Let it dry. 4. Glue the second bottle cap on the other end of the cardboard strip, in the same manner. Make sure that it is aligned with the first bottle cap. You want them to click together when you're done, so they have to be positioned to correspond. Let the glue dry. If you've left the decorating-your-castanets part for last, now is the time to go wild and have fun with it. That's it! They are finished and ready to play with! Definately a minimum effort, maximum fun kids craft. If you are looking for more fun craft inspiration, you can find lots on my Kids Crafts pinterest board.

Morning everyone! I hope your Thursday is going well so far :)
This morning, my four year old and I had some fun with the letter G. We made a guitar craft, and we did a little letter G printing practice. My music loving boy loves this adorable craft made from recycled materials. To make a tissue box guitar: 1) Gather your supplies. You'll need an empty tissue box, a strip of cardboard (from an old box), six buttons, six elastics, glue, a marker, and duct tape. 2) Have the child draw strings on the neck of the guitar/strip of cardboard. Then, have the child use white glue to decorate the top of the strip with buttons. 3) Have the child wrap six elastics (of various sizes) around the tissue box. 4) Attach the neck of the guitar to the tissue box with duct tape. Cute, right? After our craft, we did a little printing practice. If you want to practice printing the letter G with your little one, you can right-click on the picture below, save it to your computer, and print it. We ended our crafting session with a little snack... because "G" is for goldfish, and all that crafting and printing can build up an appetite! And if you are looking for more letter G crafts, why not try decorating a letter G with crayons and goldfish? This adorable letter "G" gumball machine is sweet too! The "gumballs" are stickers. And this handprint goldfish couldn't be cuter. Trace the child's hand to make the fish, and use white glue to add a googly eye and Cheerios air bubbles. Next up, the letter "H". ♥ Gina Bell (aka East Coast Mommy) Find more alphabet crafts here.
