Making : Sharp-toothed Creature

3 December 2010No Comment

Uh oh.

I just found an old post that I forgot to publish!

This activity was done some TWO years ago!

[Yes, Vai was just a little over 2yo, and Anya was 4.5yo!]

Ah well.

Since it’s the school holiday (ie. when kids spend MORE time with us at home and have MORE time for activities), I thought I should still share the photos and this activity idea with you anyway.

Here’s what we used:

– Egg cartons as the teeth and tail

– A rectangular box as the body (I used our cod liver oil box!)

– Crepe paper to cover the head and body

– Styrofoam for the eyes (I used the one we got when we bought some meat from the supermarket)

– Glue, markers and masking tape to put everything together

And of course you can always make different variations and create your very own creatures using recycled materials!

Have fun making stuff with the kids!
