Mystery
CraftOne of our most creative crafts was our mystery craft. I put various scrap craft supplies into paper bags, making sure that everyone got something different. The girls were instructed to use what ever they wanted, including the bag if they wanted to, but that everyone's craft had to be different. We ended up with great results. I find that many of the girls want to create carbon copies of others crafts so this activity made sure that everyone's creation was unique.
Paper plate bunny
Use a colored paper plate, two white plastic spoons and construction paper. Make two slits in the paper plate parallel to each other so that the spoons can be inserted through the slits. You want the bowl of the spoon to face toward the plate. If done correctly the backs and the ends of the spoons will be visible from the front of the plate. The spoons become eyes and bunny teeth. Cut out pink ears and attach to top of plate. We uses permanent marker to make eye ball on the spoons. This is the way we made the nose. Cut two pieces of yarn and glue in an X where nose should be, then glue a pom pom over the yarn. Now you have whiskers and a nose. Nose could be made out of anything.
Paper plate butterfly
This is also a very good craft. I hope I can explain it properly. You need two of the thin paper plates and a stapler. Cut one of the plates in half. Fold the second plate in half with bottom of plate touching, unfold. Decorate the bottom of the plate as a butterfly, the crease runs down the middle of the butterfly. Staple the halves of the paper plate to the decorated one, bottoms of plates to the outside. This makes a pocket for your fingers to make the butterfly, fly. Add pipe cleaner antenna.
Snow Globe
Use a small glass baby food jar, water, moth flakes, a small plastic ornament and a silicone base adhesive. I have tried to use hot glue but it did not hold. I found glass and ceramic adhesive that says it's 100% silicone rubber and it worked excellent. Glue the small ornament to the inside middle of the lid or if you don't mind it being upside-down, inside the glass jar. Let the girls put a teaspoon of moth flakes into the jar and fill jar with water. Secure the lid to jar with adhesive and close. Do not turn upside-down until the glue has set. When you shake the jar it snows. If you wish you can decorate the lid of jar by painting or by placing a circle of fabric over it and secure with a rubber band to hold it and ribbon to look nice.
