You've never even seen a craft like this...

Only kidding. But do read on.

This week we went to the zoo and we all agreed that our favorite part was the cool aquarium....


So then we decided to make one of our own...

And whaddya know, it turned out JUST like the ones at the zoo!!

My girls were way too excited about the final product, and made me feel like the coolest and craftiest mom ever. If you too, want to fit into the cool crafty mom category, try it out.

1: Cut out the inside of one paper plate and color the inside of another paper plate blue.

2: Use hot glue to stick a piece of plastic wrap to the inside of the plate with the hole in it.

3: Stick paper cutouts of fish and other sea animals onto the blue plate, then glue the plates together.

4: And Done!!

The coolest. The craftiest.


And here's a good one for the whole family. My husband was definitely the one most amused by this activity. All you need is a little 'Moolah'....and who doesn't have that just lying around? :)


Enjoy.

Just when you thought there was nothing left to do with a cereal box..

Cardboard Keys won't get you too far....

but they do come in handy when you're playing house and pretending like you're a janitor!


In this case, the side of the cereal box made a great platform for our cotton ball snowman.

All you need is glue, cotton balls and leftover Halloween candy.




And finally, finger puppets made from, yes, you guessed it: a cereal box.

Find an old glove and use hot glue to stick a piece of velcro onto the front of each finger. Also glue a piece of velcro to the back of each monkey or pig face. This is fun to use for fingerplays like "5 little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed", "Old MacDonald", or even "B-I-N-G-O" etc.
