Idea from Wendy
Graham
 My daughter
has music clases in a building which also has a daycare. The children in the daycare made
concrete walkway blocks by forming shapes out of cardboard strips taped into shallow boxes
(like the ones canned goods are sometimes displayed on). The cement was mixed according to
the package directions and then the children made designs with shells, stones and such as well as
drawing in the cement. Hope this helps and you have a great time!

Rock Paperweight & Handprints
These projects would make great gifts and a special rememberance for
mom, dad
or someone special as a holiday gift or keepsake. These two crafts include a way to
transform a simple rock and also how to make a special handprint craft.
A Child's Footprint
This craft features a great gift for Dad on Father's day or Mom on Mother's Day or a wonderful Christmas gift. This Footprint Craft includes
both the child's footprint, a nice momento,
and a wonderful, touching poem.
Write the poem in the shape of a large footprint using waterproof marker. Using
watercolors or watered down tempera paints paint the child's foot and print it over the
written poem a couple of time. After all is dried laminate the piece of paper and attach
string on the back for hanging.
Melted Crayon Jars
 These jars are both pretty
and useful containers for such things as flowers, pencils, and odds and ends. They are fun
and easy to make and each one is different. Remember to keep your finished jars out of
direct sunlight or the crayons will melt again. |
