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 Snowman

Another snowman craft made my Hasan.  I saw this idea on  Crafts By Amanda .  She also made children out of toilet paper rolls as well.  They looked so cute I had to get Hasan to make one of them.  I love her idea of how to make the earmuffs...very creative!  This was the first time Hasan used the hot glue gun.  Everything dried very quickly.  We didn't paint the toilet paper roll because I wanted to finish this craft in one sitting.

Here comes the Big Bad Wolf!

In Grade 7, Hasan had a Fairy Tale Monologue assignment.  He chose to do the Big Bad Wolf from The Three Little Pigs story.  He was supposed to be dressed as the character so the challenge for me had begun!  I didn't want to spend any money on this project.  There are wolf masks for sale online but they were pretty expensive for something that would be used only once and it wouldn't have arrived on time.  After a lot of googling I came across a video from Scribble .  The only thing I had to buy to make the mask was masking tape.  Work in progess It took me an afternoon to make this and I loved the whole process.  It's been a long time since I've done something like this.  For the claws, we already had at home the claw gloves Hasan is wearing.  We had bought them for Bilal from Ikea when he was in SK. Overall, it turned out really good and Hasan did an amazing job on the monologue.  It was hilarious and I couldn't stop wat...
