Crafting with Stuff

At the last programs that I planned, one of the tables had me worried. There was no sample, no end product, just a bunch of stuff to "make a creature." With seven other stations, would anyone venture over? Definitely!

As a great reminder to myself, kids and grownups alike clamored over to the table to make something out of nothing. Pompoms, pipe cleaner, feathers, egg crates, wiggle eyes, and lots of glue lent themselves to some serious creativity.

So if you're looking for something to keep your kids occupied this summer make masks out of empty cereal boxes, necklaces from pasta noodles, or collages with old magazines. With a few odds and ends and a bit of glue they will be fantastically creative, with no expense (except maybe some cleanup!).
