Make a colour sorting game

I was looking for something to create from all the left over Christmas paper rolls when I discovered this great educational activity at Learning4Kids. Just paint the cardboard rolls in advance and allowed them to dry before masking them to the wall or window.

Stained Glass Hearts

This colourful Valentine Craft is made from milk bottles, glue and tissue paper. It is the translucency of plastic milk bottles that makes them great for creating a stained glass effect.

Circle punch wall art

This wall art is made by Merrilee and her boys.

" I wanted to do something simple and graphic, and most importantly, something that the boys themselves could do, pretty much on their own. So we came up with a circle punch art idea."
