Bee Crafty Kids #29: Cereal Box Homework Organizer

November 1, 2013 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

DIY Cereal Box Homework Organizer: Look! We're Learning!Bee Crafty Kids Button

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.

One of the recurring problems with homeschooling is keeping track of all the papers you accumulate during the week. But, I found a really cute and simple project on Pinterest to help: a cereal box organizer! Like most of our projects, this one is really easy. You just need two cereal boxes, some masking tape, scrapbook paper, and glue.

Cut the top flaps off of both boxes.

In the original tutorial from Wilde Designs, Elizabeth Howard uses colored duct tape, which makes for a neater and sturdier finish. I didn’t have duct tape, though, so scrapbook paper it is!

All done! The top box serves as the “in” box and the bottom box serves as the “out” box. Since we only have one child who completes regular homework assignments, I just made the small version. But for multiple kids, you can just stack several boxes on top of each other and add labels with their names inside. Super simple!

We’d love to see what you made with your family this week! To share the button for this linkup, grab the code below!

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!

Bee Crafty Kids Link Up #14: Tissue Paper Mosaic

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 try out a tissue paper mosaic project. It’s another simple one, so it’s perfect if you’re in a time crunch! I started by drawing very simple shapes on construction paper. Pooh picked the house, Roo picked the flower, and Tigger got the goldfish. Then I handed out contrasting colored tissue paper to each child.

Then came the part they liked the most: tearing the tissue paper into little pieces!

Since Tigger didn’t get the picture she wanted (the flower), I let her choose her own color of paper. It was only right.

After we had the ideal sized paper pieces, everyone traced their picture with a glue stick and stuck the pieces on the drawings. Since the project was so easy, it was very hands off for me, which was a nice change from some of our more intensive art activities.

Ta-da! The kids really liked this activity and it only required four supplies: construction paper, glue, colored tissue paper, and black marker. Great for a fast time-filler!
