Craft Day

This morning was a rainy day so not much we could do outside. So we decided to make crafts. I made a sensory bottle for my 10 month old and with my three year old we made hand turkeys and popcicle stick people.

Sensory bottle.
All little babies (well at least mine) love to play with an empty plastic bottle. We took bead from an old necklace, then some old popouri red and brown pieces. Some old buttons and whatever else that makes noise. I also added red glitter. Then I filled the bottle with water (please fill all the way up) and hot glued the lid shut. The water got colored from the glitter and popouri. She loves the noise it makes when she shakes it and lives watching the pieces fall back and forth.

Turkey and stick people.
For this I just traced my daughters hand on a piece of cardboard and we hot glued feather for the hair and two pieces of necklace doe the eyes and then drew on a mouth and nose. Then she wanted them to.waet a necklace so we hot glued on a wrap around piece of the old plastic beaded necklace I cut up. There we go and she has been entertained for hours!
