So, in order to keep a 27 month old occupied in the house all day, you have to get creative! Today we decided to make a paper wreath. He loved it. I big success for such an easy, quickly put together craft.
All you need is construction paper, scissors, and glue stick (I am sure you could use different glue, but the glue stick was good because Alex was able to help me with that part, without making a total mess)
You could also make the wreath circle out of a paper plate (just cut the inside out of it) but we didnt have paper plates, so I used construction paper, and just glued two semi circles together.
Then get green and red (or some other colors if you like) and cut paper in strips, then cut in to varying sized squares. The big ones were about an 1 inch and then the smallest ones being a 1/4 of that size. Just to give it variety.
Take the glue stick and cover wreath circle with a thin layer of glue. Then stick the varying squares around the wreath and filling in the gaps.
I then got a piece of blue paper (a different color than the wreath) and folded it in half, and cut a paper bow out of it. Alex then glued that at the top of the wreath when we were done with the squares.
Then hang it up to admire! :) Alex loves that showing us his different creations, it makes him proud. :)
Have fun!
