CONFINEMENT CRAFTING
Being homebound is hard for parents and kids! Keep little hands busy, building and creating with these fun, easy crafts that use things you have around the house.
CARDBOARD SPACECRAFT You’ll Need:
Cereal box cardboard Cardboard toilet paper roll Paint Glue gun Scissors Pencil Razor blade (adults only!)
How-To
1. Flip your cereal box cardboard print-side down and trace the outline of a spacecraft, and cut along the outline. 2. Draw an oval with a flat side on the toilet paper roll and cut carefully with the razor blade or an X-acto knife. 3. Paint and decorate your spacecraft any way you like! 4. Once the paint is dry, hot glue the toilet paper roll to the cardboard and your astronauts are ready to head for the stars!
SPARKLING SNOW SLIME You’ll Need
School glue Water Borax (find it on the laundry detergent aisle) Glitter
How-To
1. In a large bowl mix: 2 cups of school glue 1½ cups of very warm water 2. In a smaller bowl mix: ¾ teaspoon of borax 1⅓ cups very warm water 3. Combine the mixed contents of both bowls and stir until thickened. Add as much glitter as you like to make the slime sparkle. You can also opt for glitter glue instead of school glue if you want it to really shine. Stick the bowl in the fridge for about two hours to set the slime. Put it back in the fridge after use to keep it firm.
