Happy Friday everyone! It’s time for another Bee Crafty Kids Link Up! Every Friday, I get to co-host this roundup with Dusty from To The Moon and Back, Jolene from Monsters Ed Academy, and Melanie from Our Crafts N Things! You can find out more about all four of us here.
This week we decided to finally put our old clothespins to use. I grabbed several great clothespin crafts on Pinterest and simplified them for a quick art activity.
I handed out markers for everyone to color their clothespins. Piglet knew just what to do with that marker. That girl is smart, I tell ya!
Roo wanted to make an airplane. We used a clothespin with colored popsicle sticks. I asked him if he wanted to put googly eyes on his. He said, “No. I want it to be a real airplane.” I guess he told me!
Jay got in on the crafting by making a butterfly out of a clothespin and some chenille sticks.
What happens when you allow the kids to make crafts based on things that fly? You get a picture full of flailing arms!
All done! Tigger and I made dragonflies, Pooh and Roo made airplanes, and Jay made a colorful butterfly. I think the kids actually had more fun playing with these afterward than making them!
