Today is a crafty kind of day, and we have a load of craft materials that we never know what to do with. So a quick don of the thinking cap, and some googly eyes...repeat after me: EVERYTHING LOOKS BETTER WITH GOOGLY EYES.
And we have come up with some pretty cool Lollipop Stick Alien Wall Decorations.
You will need:
Lollipop Sticks (lots - once you make one, you'll be making more!)
Googly Eyes
Glue
String
Any other craft Material and your imagination. We had feathers and felt tip pens.
First, lay out the lollipop sticks on a flat surface, side by side. Glue two lollipop sticks and stick them across the back of the others, like so:
Now it's time to decorate!
As you can see, Ethan enjoyed penning a nose onto his alien! Hee hee!
- Choice and Decision Making - he chose the colours and what we used for the face and hair
- Fine motor skills (glueing small bits)
- Patience (waiting for glue to dry)
- Storytelling (there was a whole massive story accompanying our aliens!)
- Sense of achievement
- Mum time
Why not a have a go with your wee ones? Don't just stick with aliens or feathers - why not try scarecrows with paper hats, dried macaroni for hair or ribbon for a tongue?
Good idea. It does look like they had fun with them. Always great to get creative using imaginations.
