Happy Cinco de Mayo! I know its last minute, but thats how we roll around here ;) Today we are sharing two really fun and simple crafts your kids will love...young and old!
First up are these adorable Pinterest-inspired Homemade Maracas! I saw a pin HERE and knew these needed to be a part of our celebration.
These maracas are easy, the kids can do them mostly by themselves, and they will love playing with them all day long. To get started you need some plastic spoons, plastic eggs, rice, and washi tape.
All you do is fill up your eggs with rice, and then place two spoons around your egg.
Then use your washi tape to secure your egg and you are ready for the best part...
To SHAKE IT!!
(And yes, this is how we roll. Dirty shirt, no pants and a crumb-covered floor ;)
The next craft we did was creating Eye of God's. My older girls really loved these, in fact they spent an hour making them with their friends last night...after they had worked on them for an hour after school :)
All you need for this craft is popsicle sticks, tape or glue and yarn...easy-peasy! To make them as colorful as possible I used multi-colored yarn and colored popsicle sticks.
To show my kids how to wrap the yarn around your sticks to make this cool design we watched THIS tutorial, they explained it all beautifully.
I hope these gave you some fun, last-minute ideas and ways to enjoy your little ones today! Thanks so much for checking out Blue Skies Ahead!
