I haven’t put up a coloring page for kids in awhile, so here is a little spring/windy day picture. To download, click the image or go HERE:
Kids
Magnetic Alien Robots
Transform tin cans into silly, changeable Alien Robots with a few odds and ends and some magnets.
Simple DIY Bean Shakers
Make some quick and easy shakers for music time (or general noisemaking) using cardboard tubes, paper plates, duct tape, and of course, dried beans!
“Watercolor” Coffee Filters
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but it seems like time, weather and winter sicknesses have converged to make it hard to get projects done!
Yesterday my son came up with the idea to do this project. He said he read it in his ‘highlighter’ magazine, which means “Highlights High Five” for kids. I’m not sure of the directions in the original article, but he told me what to do.
Bugs in a Jar Thaumatrope
Have a little amusement by making a classic Thaumatrope toy. Downloadable template for this design included.
Organizing for Kids Part 2
Fun with Static
Have some static-y fun using just a balloon and some paper scraps with this quick and classic science experiment.
Kaleidoscope Snowflakes
Who says snowflakes have to be white? We made some paper snowflakes here today (even though it was 74° outside!) Since my son chose colored paper as well as white, we started calling them Kaleidoflakes.
