craft | Today We Did

Every week L gets a short spelling list of five words to learn. We like to try different activities using the words to keep it interesting. After making some posters for the school disco and for book week, L decided to make a poster for her spelling words.

She wrote the words at the top in coloured pen, and then drew a disco ball, because all good posters need a disco ball 🙂 Then she added some coloured card with animal stickers and some black paper with stars drawn on it in lead pencil. It was completely her own design and she seemed happy with the result. We stuck the finished poster into her spelling book ready to take to school.

We got the craft box out this afternoon. It is overflowing with all sorts of items useful in our craft activities. I really must sort it out though, it has become extremely messy with the kids pulling things out and then shoving them back in.

There was a pack of plain cardboard glasses frames, and A decided to decorate a pair.

She used textas to colour the glasses first. She also added some animal stickers, colouring a section of the frames in green texta so that the animals had some grass to stand on. There was some ribbon and lace scraps added, and the lenses are green cellophane. When A popped the glasses on she said, “They make everything look green!”. She was quite amazed.
