toilet paper tube (empty)
tissue paper
uncooked beans
scissors
glue
2 nut cups
glitter
If you make this project we'd love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on this page!
What you do
1) Glue a nut cup to one end of the toilet paper tube.
2) Pour a handful of beans into the tube.
3) Glue another nut cup to the other end of the tube.
4) Use tissue paper and glitter to make the shaker look like a rocket ship.
Strips of paper glued to one end will look like fire streaming from the
rocket.
5) Pick up your shaker and blast off.
Recommended Reading: Kuffner gives us an enormous number of ideas for fun things to do with our children. This is an arts and crafts type of book, and she does
something I haven't seen in other activity books. She spends a chapter telling you how to organize for a toddler. She also provides a list
of items to buy and old household items to save (dried magic markers, for example).
The rest of the book is laid out equally well. There are chapters on rainy day play, water play, kitchen activities, outdoor adventures, how
to entertain the kids when you're on errands or travel, nursery rhymes, learning activities, music, arts & crafts, and even birthday/holiday
activities. The appendix lists craft recipes, "crazy can" activities, and best toys/books for toddlers. Very comprehensive and varied. (courtesy: Amazon)
