Tissue Box Pig
Instructions: Trace around the outside of the kleenex box on pink foam paper. Cut out four squares and glue to sides of kleenex box. Cut a toilet paper roll into fourths and cover with pink construction paper. Glue these to the bottom of the box.
Fingerprint Art
Fingerprint ArtMaterials: Paper, ink pad, permanent markers.
Instructions: Show the kids some examples to work from. Once they get the hang of it, they will create their own!
Salad Spinner Art
- Paint
- Paper squares
- Glitter
- Salad spinner.
Instructions: Lay a piece of paper in the salad spinner. (It helps to tape it down a bit!) Have the child spoon drops of different colored paint onto the paper however they choose. Close the spinner and have them spin it. If they do not have the strength to do it on their own, have them try first then help them out at the end. If you want the kids to be able to do this independently, water down the paint a bit. Sprinkle glitter over the painting and spin again.Rock Monsters + Houses
Materials: Rocks, Paint, Googly Eyes, To-Go Boxes, Markers, Scissors.
Instructions: Have the kids paint the rocks and add pipe cleaners and googly eyes. (I used hot glue, but regular glue should be fine if you let the paint fully dry.) While they are doing that, cut out some windows and doors for them on a take home box from any Asian restaurant. While their paint is drying allow them to decorate their rock monster's house with paint, glitter, markers, anything!
Calm Down Jars
Calm Down Jar
Materials: Jar, Glitter Glue, Water
Instructions:Pretty simple, just fill up a jar with warm/hot water. Add a good amount of glitter glue. I used almost a full small bottle for my jar. (pictured above). Close and shake for a few minutes. If you want the jar to take more than 10 minutes to settle, just add more glitter.
Other comments: If you are using this as a replacement for a time out, I would suggest using a cool shaped water bottle vs. a glass jar. That way if the child is really upset and drop/throw it, you don't have to worry about it breaking. Also depending on your kids, you may want to hot glue the lid on! If you do not want to buy glitter glue, you can use water, clear glue, and fine glitter. However, I had a really hard time getting the consistency correct. You have to shake it a lot harder at the start and for a longer period of time. Good luck :)
