Spring Flowers

Before we move on from flowers, we are offering one last flower craft to remind us spring is arriving. For this one you will need a paper cup, a plastic spoon, liquid glue, yarn, old book pages, tissue paper, and a scissor. You can also choose to use paint, crayons, markers, etc. to further decorate your flower pot.

First, take your tissue paper and cut petal designs out so that you end up with 4-5 petals. Glue them onto the front of the spoon where it is concave). Then you will add glue to the center of the spoon and add your yarn in a spiral to create the flower center. Cut any excess yarn you don’t need.

While that dries, decorate your pot. The cup will be upside down. You can tear pieces of book pages to decorate your cup ( we also used our paper bags the take-n-makes come in), or if you want to paint or color it, feel free to do so! Once it is decorated, you will poke a small hole on the bottom of the cup in the center (which is now the top) and stick your spoon in there.

Straw Airplanes

This week we are making straw airplanes. All you will need is a regular-sized sheet of paper or cardstock, four straws, scissor, tape, and markers etc. to decorate.

First, you will take each strip of paper and decorate them however you wish. Then tape the ends together, forming a circle.

Next, take your 4 straws and cut the bendy part off of each one. Tape each straw, evenly spaced apart, to the inside of the bigger paper circle just as the picture shows.

Then tape the straws to the outside of the smaller paper circle at the top, once again evenly spacing:

Your airplane is ready to fly! Which way does it fly the best? Does it fly better throwing it with the larger end forward, or the smaller end? Why do you think that is?

CD Case Mazes

For our Tuesday Take-n-Make this week, we are making CD case mazes. You will need an empty CD case, wax sticks (also called Wikki Stix or Monkey String), or you can use hot glue and pipe cleaners, permanent markers to decorate with, and a marble.

First, decorate your case however you wish, sharpies work well for this. Then use your wax sticks to create your maze walls. Press the sticks in various ways to create a track. Make sure you have enough space for your marble to get through. Then test out your track!
