KIDS CRAFTS WITH KAREN- CRAFTY BEAR

With the recent bear sightings I thought a craft about a bear would be timely. This bear “climbs” up and down a tree.

You will need 8 1/2 x 11 paper, one white and one green. A piece of green tissue paper. An empty paper towel roll. Glue stick and tape.

Print out this bear template and color and cut out two. Glue a small part of them together as shown.

KIDS CRAFTS WITH KAREN- LANTERNS GLOWING

This week I thought it would be nice to create some glowing lanterns to put out on a table while enjoying a nice summer evening.

What you need: paper, glue stick, scissors and a tealight. NOT a candle!!!

Cut an 8 1/2 x 11 paper in half, then fold it as shown in the video. Cut slits from the folded side but don’t cut all the way through.

Take strip of paper in a different color and cut slits in it but not all the way through.

Open the first folded paper and glue the second color to the top of it as shown. Roll it together and glue it in place.
