Scrunched Tissue Paper Flowers

This is a very easy flower I had Hasan make.  You take small squares of tissue paper, scrunch them up into a small ball and then glue them on a pre-cut shape.  I had a bunch of streamers so I just cut small squares out of that.  I found that to be much faster than cutting squares out of a big sheet of tissue paper.  We also stuck some adhesive magnets on the so we could put them on the fridge.


We used these great cut out shapes I found at Dollarama. They had flowers, dinosaurs and butterflies. I picked up the flowers and dinosaurs.  We tried this with both.  The dinosaur didn't look very good so I'm posting the flower.  Of course you could cut out our own shape to glue the tissue on.


Materials Needed:
A cut out shape to glue the tissue on
Glue
Tissue paper cut into small squares (or like me you can cut up streamers)
Paintbrush (for spreading the glue)
Adhesive magnets (optional)

How to:
Put glue on shape and spread with a paintbrush (we did one section at a time so the glue wouldn't dry out).

Scrunch up a square of tissue paper into a tiny ball and put on the shape.

Once dry, stick the magnets on the back and display on your fridge!

Craft Stick Fish

I saw this craft in Easy Fun Crafts with Everyday Items .  I have a bunch of craft sticks and it looked very simple.  In the book they used bigger sticks...mine were the size of Popsicle stick.  I didn't have enough of one colour so I mixed it up.  I let Hasan pick the colours.  We glued a couple of magnets on the back and Hasan gave it to his Nani (maternal grandmother).

Toilet Paper Roll Octopus

I saw this craft a long time ago and thought it would be good to do with Hasan.  It's pretty simple and I've seen it on numerous websites .  The hardest thing for Hasan was waiting for the paint to dry.  We completed it in two days because Bilal woke up early from his nap after Hasan was done painting.

Styrofoam Jellyfish

I saw this craft on Crafts by Amanda .  Hasan made the ones pictured above and although they don't look as good as the ones Amanda made, he had a lot of fun making them which is the goal of any activity we do.  In the original craft you are supposed to paint the styrofoam half which would look really good.  I didn't do that because then I would have the boys start the craft and then have to make them wait for the paint to dry before they could continue.  I wanted to complete this craft in one sitting.  I was also lazy to get the googly eyes so Hasan just drew them on with a marker.  Bilal had a hard time with this craft and in the end just played with the pipe cleaners.
