Quick and easy road trip boredom busters for kids! Learn how to keep your kids busy while you're on the go this summer with these pipe cleaner figurines!
The lacing cards take focus, introduce kids to shapes and are a beginner tutorial to your basic sewing stitch. To make you’ll want to begin by tracing the shapes using the stencils on the white card stock. Next, cut out each shape and hold punch around the outside rim of the shape. Finally, using the lacing yard, lace the yarn up through one hole and down the next. Repeat the pattern until you’ve laced the entire shape.
My kids absolutely love these I Spy bottles. Make sure to take note of the items you place in each bottle; this will serve as the guide for each player. o make you'll want to begin by filling the pint sized mason jars half full with white rice. Next, fill the jar with alphabet beads, shell beads, dolphin beads, and light bulb beads. Finally, fill the remaining jar with white rice and shake it up. Ask kids to search for a specific letter, color or object in the jar.
To make you'll want to being by tracing geometric shapes onto the foam sheets. We traced squares, diamonds, small triangles, large triangles, hexagon, and rectangles. Trace multiple shapes onto different colored foam sheets. Next, cut out each shape. Use the geometric shapes to create objects, animals and shapes. Finally, store the shapes in our rainbow pencil case!
Create a world with a simple storage box and felt! To make you'll want to begin by tracing the bin lid onto blue felt. Cut out the shape of the lid. Hot glue the oval to the inside of the bins lid. Next, cut out under the sea objects from the felt. I freehand cut green seaweed, starfish, blue shark, turtle and purple jellyfish. Simply place the felt on the light blue board you created with the bins lid. It’s a world a fun! Try making this busy box with a space or garden theme. The bins make storing these boredom busters super easy!
Kids can create their very own pipe cleaner figurines! Ella and Annie made a cute puppy dog, snake, bunny and firefly. Making these pipe cleaner animals is pretty much the same process for each. To make each body, wind the chenille stem tightly around the body of a pencil. To add wings and legs, you simply bend and twist the chenille stems in the shape you want them. You can hot glue on the eyes and pom poms for the heads. The wire inside the chenille stem allows you to twist on the tail, legs or wings to attach it to the animal. Your kids will be engaged for hours making their furry friends!
