Fun Crafts

As soon as I saw these necklaces I thought of one of my favorite things, Mermaids!!!

Rock Necklaces

• Total Time Needed:

About 1 Hour

A variation on the age-old nature necklace, these wire-wrapped pendants are fun for kids to trade. Some girls paint their names on one side and their best friend's on the other, and wear them as a proclamation of their unbreakable bond.

Materials

• A small rock
• Colored wire (we used 22-gauge)
• Scissors

• Pencil
• Needle-nose pliers
• Colored leather cord

Steps Place the rock at the center of a 15-inch-long piece of wire and wrap the wire around the rock a few times to secure it.

1. Twist together the ends, then wrap the twist around a pencil to form a loop. Use pliers to close the loop, then cut off any excess wire.
2. To finish, thread a necklace-length piece of leather cord through the loop and knot the ends.

Contest Winner's Craft

 Hello, Since Kel was the winner of my Craft Contest, And she wanted to know a fun craft that you could make with beads, I found this for her :)

Bead Ornaments

If you want to have fun during the holidays with a cheery, fun craft. Then Hopefully you will like this idea

Materials

• Pipe cleaners
• Transparent craft beads (5- to 10-millimeter diameters)

Steps

•      Bend an end of a pipe cleaner into a 90-degree angle. Have your child thread on beads from the opposite end, stopping a half inch from the tip.
• 1. Twist together the two ends, and the strand is ready to shape into a star, a candy cane, or another festive object.

• Variations:
• Twist together the ends of two pipe cleaners for a longer strand, or attach short beaded lengths to add a striker to a bell or holly berries to a wreath.

(I found this awesome craft on FamilyFun.com)

We also had a second winner!!!

Crystal

!!!

Materials

 

• Pieces of colorful fabric or scarves -- anything shiny, silky, or draping

Steps

 

Bring out a few pieces of colorful fabric or scarves -- anything shiny, silky, or draping -- and let her twirl them around as she moves.

1. You can use the fabric for a dancing game of peekaboo, hold some up for a makeshift curtain, or tie it on for a swinging skirt. Try holding two corners each and wave the fabric like a parachute, in time to the music.
2. If your child's pretty steady on her feet, hold one corner each and let your child spin toward you into the fabric, then pull it to send her twirling away again.

Our first story

Once there was a little Elephant! It was one CENTIMETER! The elephant was very small, but it was also very spacial. EVERYBODY LOVED HIM! There was even had a movie named after the elephant! "The Tinsey-Winsey Elephant With a Colossal Heart!" He was very happy, but soon everyone wanted to get his autograph and he had so much to do.

The elephant loved being famous, although, he didn't want to always be signing his autograph. So one day he ran to a secret place and wasn't seen again! After many years, hunters wanted to find elephants to eat! And when the tiny elephant heard the bad news, he was furious! He was wondering what he should do to save himself and all of the other elephants.













The tiny elephants profile :)

Hi, I am Peanut. People find me quite small, well I am only a centimeter tall and wide. Which is pretty special I guess. There was even a movie made after me! But I'm not the only special one, my mother was a very good swimmer!
 She won many swimming races and she was very talented. and here is my dad

he is a model! With his job he travels a lot, so we don't see him too much. I love my family.
