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

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.
