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).



Materials Needed:
10 craft sticks (less if you have bigger ones)
Glue
Googly eyes (we used 2 but since it is now up on a fridge we really only needed one)
2 strong magnets

How to:
Lay 4 craft sticks on a diagonal, parallel to each other.  Pick a fifth craft stick and put some glue along about half of it.  Lay it on top of the original 4 craft sticks so that it crosses all four (it is really more simple to just look at the picture above and copy it).  Continue with 3 more sticks, spacing evenly.  With the 2 remaining sticks, glue them on horizontally on both sides.  You will need to let it dry before applying the stick on the back.  In the meantime, glue on a googly eye on the front.

Once you fish is complete, glue the 2 magnets on the back and you are done!

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.

Tissue Paper Flowers

It's been a long time since I posted anything on this blog.  I've had a few posts to do but just never got around to doing them.  I had Hasan make these flowers for my mom on Mother's Day.  I had taken Bilal to the library one day and they had a program going on.  One of the crafts they were making were these flowers.  It was hard to get Bilal interested in it but I knew it was something perfect for Hasan to make.  They are very simple to make.
