Art & Play: Lil' Explorers

Following our theme of Lil' Explorers for this month, we decided to make Kaleidoscopes for our Art & Play event.
The children seemed to enjoy the multi-steps to making this craft. They started off by decorating their paper towel rolls with crayons and stickers. Then the moms helped out with cutting the plastic sheets, and various papers used.
 
We used shiny sequins and transparent coloured beads to put inside and sealed everything up with tape and elastic bands.
 
 
The end results were very neat - lots of pretty colours when you looked through and twisted the tubes around. They were a huge success among our little explorers!
 
 
We ended the event with some songs and games in circle time. If you want to try this craft at home, you can find the directions here. http://momstown-artsandcrafts.momstown.ca/node/799
