Craft time is always an adventure with my two and three year old kiddos! Although I wish it happened everyday, it doesn't. And when it does, it usually only lasts ten minutes tops. But today I hit the jackpot: a craft that kept them busy for 20 minutes, looked halfway decent, and could even be used as a gift for Grandma.
Supplies Needed:
Pipe-cleaner
Noodles (any kind with a hole)
Rubbing alcohol
Food coloring
Ziploc bags
Paper Towel
Directions:
We dyed the noodles ahead of time. Dump 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol into a Ziploc bag. Add 10 drops of so of food coloring and swish around a bit. Then add 1-2 cups of noodles and shake well to coat. Dump out onto paper towel to dry for a couple hours. Once the noodles are dry, string them onto the pipe-cleaner and twist the ends together to make beautiful bracelets.
Some kids like to make patterns with their noodles.
Some kids just like to taste them.
Either way, they had fun and I got lunch made.
This is awesome and your kids are so precious :) :) Well done Rachel!!
