Our coloring pages range from simple to difficult, the beauty of it is that you have options. Coloring inside the lines is not required. Audience: All Ages.

This craft is a messy one but lots of fun. Be sure to have some newspaper down for a workspace or do it outside. All you will need beyond that is a black marker or pen, some cardstock or watercolor paper, and paint.
Fold your paper in half and open it back up. Add small drips of paint in a couple of different colors around the paper until you like how they are arranged. Once you are satisfied with the placement, fold the paper in half again along the crease already made. Rub on the outside of the paper to spread the paint around. Open it back up and observe your design. Do you see a creature or two in the different colors and shapes? Let your painting dry completely. Then, go back in with your marker or pen and outline your creatures! Add in any details you would like. This is a fun project to spark the imagination, and is fun for all ages!!
For this craft, you will need a black piece of paper, yellow yarn, white paper, google-eyes (or just draw your own), glue, a scissor, and crayons (if you would like to add more details).
Trace a round object on your black paper to create a circle and cut it out. Cut three marks on either side of the circle, only cutting in a little bit. Take your string and wrap it around the body of the bee to make its stripes. You can tie it off on the back or just tuck it in. Then glue on the google-eyes. Next, take the white paper and cut out two wings. You can color them however you wish. Glue them on the back of your bee.
For this craft we included various textured objects to include in an ice sensory play experience. You can use the red cup to freeze your objects if you would like, or find other sized containers to use. All you will need is water, food coloring (not required, but a fun addition), utensils to dig with, and a freezer!
Place your objects how you wish in the container you are freezing them in. Then add water (and food coloring, if using) and freeze. When they are frozen, take the ice outside and play! You can dig out objects, watch them melt, speed things up with warm water, etc. The whole point is to experiment and explore.
