cardboard castling
When I first mentioned the idea of empty paper roll crafts to the kids they were pretty excited. Suddenly, the bathroom usage in our house sky-rocketed and the munchkins became very enthused about cleaning the windows. Because of this new enthusiasm our stock pile of cardboard rolls built up quickly. Maybe don’t mention it in advance, but start to keep a stash of the empty rolls. It only takes a few to make a really cool castle. 122

Peninsula Kids – Summer 2015/2016
What To Do: 1. Get your jar and glow sticks (5) ready 2. With scissors, cut the tops off the glow sticks. 3. Place glow sticks into jar and let the liquid drip down into jar.
*TIP – if you cut the opposite end of glow stick as well, the liquid will run quickly out! 4. Add glitter into jar, put lid tightly on and swirl around. 5. Decorate the outside and twirl the pom pom trim and sequin string around the jar. Use sticky tape to secure. 6. Complete jar by adding a glitter butterfly or bow on top of the lid. 7. Now turn off the lights and see your magical fairy jar come to life!
