Today’s craft is all about recycling and repurposing tin cans! I’ve been keeping aside our tin cans and bottle tops especially for these DIY tin can robot faces and we’re so excited with how these have turned out.
My boys already have a couple of toy trains however they are always so proud of the toys they have crafted themselves. This DIY tin can train has already enjoyed hours of imaginative play. I so enjoy engaging in imaginative or pretend play with my boys, not just to spend quality time with them but to see their imagination grow.
We thought it would be fun to make our own DIY Rainbow Mailbox to encourage mail giving in our home. We crafted our mail box from a nappy/diaper box and it is super simple to make. This craft is great for cutting, gluing and developing fine motor skills. It also provides another opportunity to recycle and repurpose!
These popsicle fish are easy to craft and they require very few supplies. It’s a great motor development workout and allows children to explore their creativity while decorating their fishes. Whilst we were crafting, Little boy also named all the shapes he spotted. The basic shape of our fish is a triangle, however you can challenge your children to make fishes with other shapes too.
These recycled funny face bottles are so easy to make and children can really explore their creativity with this craft. The idea of this craft is that the handle of the plastic container will become the bridge of the nose of each funny face. Feel free to use whatever recyclables you have at your disposal to make the features of the funny faces. There is painting and gluing involved with this craft which makes a great fine motor workout too.
