I'm trying to think of stuff to give to the kids this year that has real play value. I've come up with several little "kits" that I'm going to put together for the kids that I think they'll have fun with.
The first one is an art kit, for 3 year old V. I'm posting about it now, while school supplies are dirt cheap. The whole thing cost a couple of bucks, at the current prices. V loves artsy craftsy stuff, and she loves to make messes. Although we have most of these supplies here at the house anyway, I figured she'd like having her own supplies to use as she wishes. (Want to use a whole container of glitter on your collage? Sure, why not?)
The contents are pretty self explanatory, but here's a list anyway:
Crayons
Colored pencils
Scissors
Glue and glue sticks
Glitter Glue
Glitter
Beads and laces
Stamps
Feathers
Sequins
Index cards
Food Coloring (For shaving cream painting and color mixing in the bath tub.)
Anyone else dreaming about Christmas during this heatwave?

ReplyDeleteYes! My kids are totally ready to put up the Christmas tree! I have done glitter in stockings and Easter baskets many times b/c I, too, have those who love to use it all at once. Great big gobs of glitter glue that never dry. They make the pictures so PRETTY!!! :)
