 Surviving the big Quarantine of 2020 -
 Lets help eachother stay HAPPY & HEALTHY and BUSY !

                      Kids crafts:

DIY Bird Houses :
 

Sock Caterpillar 
This one’s an oldie but goodie! My son was so little in this pic 💗☺️


All you need:
Old sock
Stuffing or Cotton Balls
Elastics/rubber bands
Pipe cleaner
   Googley eyes 
( eyes are optional, you can just draw them on if needed)
Just fill the sock w/stuffing, use rubber bands to tie off each section to create the caterpillar shape, making the bottom section slightly larger as this will be the Face. Take your pipe cleaner and twist around to form it’s antennas, glue on your eyes (or draw them) ... optional:draw a happy smiling mouth!  

-Leaf People
All you need:
Paper
Glue
Googley eyes (or you can cut eye shapes put of paper)
Leaves and/or stems & small sticks 

-enjoy some fresh air & go outside to collect leaves of all shapes and sizes , their different stems & any small sticks.... even small rocks or wood chips or pieces of bark etc.
-bring them inside and arrange them however you like to form your “leaf person”
-glue them onto your base paper, use stems & sticks for arms and legs. Glue on your eyes. See how many different ones you can create!

-TP Flyers

All you need:
Empty Toilet paper or Paper towel rolls 
Other cardboard (old pizza boxes, shoe boxes, packages of any sort...)
Scissors 
Glue or stapler (stapler holds better & works faster!)
Cut hole for the airplane “seat” into your empty roll/tube. Cut your wing shape from other cardboard.
 Use glue OR stapler to affix the wings to bottom of your tube. Use markers and stickers to decorate. 
Use small action figures of any sort to “fly” your new planes!

-Newspaper Shark face
All you need:
Old newspaper (you can also just use paper, newspaper just makes it look cool & makes good use of old papers you would otherwise toss.
Blue paper (dark & light.)
Black paper
White paper
Googley eyes
Use a full sheet of light blue paper (or other light background color) as your base paper. Take your piece of newspaper and cut out the shape of the sharks head. Glue it onto your paper from the bottom up (so it touches bottom). Take your dark blue paper and cut a strip of wave like design across the bottom. Take your wave strip and glue it so it’s covering bottom of your shark. Take your black paper and cute out a mouth shape. Glue to middle of shark head. Cut sharp teeth from white paper and glue them into the mouth.
*BONUS: find a fun book about sharks or a you tube video and watch it before creating your shark.

Here are a couple others that are pretty self explanatory by the photos:
