January 2007 Activity

Here's a homemade gift kids can take a hand in: a stack of drink coasters.

Materials: 

  • Kid's artwork

  • Clear Con-tact paper

  • Scissors

Time needed: under 1 hour

 

 

  1. Invite kids to draw or paint artwork that would fit under glasses, such as little handprints to hold drinks, drawings of animals, faces, flowers or handwritten poems.

  2. Coat the designs on both sides with clear Con-Tact paper and cut them out with enough of a plastic margin to keep fluids off the table.
