How To Make Recycled Pretty Jewelled Heart Suncatchers

Wash and dry your plastic milk jug and then cut out the large flat rectangular sides. (Make sure your plastic milk jug is thoroughly clean or the stale milk smell will ruin your suncatchers.) With a marker pen or pencil draw on your heart shape and cut it out. Very young children may need some adult help to cut the plastic. Use a simple hole punch at the top of the heart to make a hole for threading your ribbon. Cover one side of the heart thickly with glue. Now stick on your jewels, glitter or sequins and set the heart aside to dry.

Once your heart suncatcher is completely dry you can thread some ribbon through the hole at the top and hang it in the window.

These homemade sun catchers are such a simple and adaptable idea, once the children have made the suncatcher, they can create other shapes, and sizes.

Crafts and other activities

Paper Plate Craft

Paper Plate Tree

Supplies Needed:
Paper plate (1 per tree)
Clear tape
Green paint
Glue
Multi-coloured pom poms
In order to make the cone shape, you will need to cut a chunk out of your paper plate. Find the centre and cut out a wedge.
Roll the plate into a cone shape and seal with tape. Since you will be painting the cones, keep all the tape on the inside. I made little rolls of tape and used that to hold down the outer flap down. If you find you need tape on the outside, wait until your paint is dry before taping it down. Paint your cone green. While it will work to paint your plate before making the cone, I've always found that my girls loved the idea of painting on the cone shape. Sometimes it's fun to mix things up and paint on a different shaped object.

After the paint dries, glue on all your pom poms.

You can add sequins to it to make it sparkles, glitter etc

Paint with black paint and leave aside to dry. The joy of painting toilet roll cores is that the paint soaks in and dries super fast.
When dry it’s time to watch the cats emerge…
– cut lemon shape pieces of yellow paper and draw the pupils on with black marker
– glue on the eyes
– make little holes in the cores, push in the pipe cleaners and bend to make the tail and whiskers

 

Halloween Paper Plate Wreath
What you need

– Paper plate or a cereal box would even work
– Finger Paints
– Halloween colored tissue paper
– Glue
– Construction Paper
– Ribbon or String for hanging

Cut out the middle of the paper plate.
The first step is the hand print spider. Pick out what colour of construction paper you’d like to use and have your child use both hands to make the hand prints on top of each other facing opposite ways to represent the spider like the one above. Once it dries you can add googly eyes or personalise it with a Halloween message but that’s totally up to you! While the hand prints dry you can work on the wreath, cut up your tissue paper into small squares and cut the middle out of your paper plate. Then scrunch the tissue paper up and start gluing it to the paper plate
