Numbers have been a big feature in this house currently and I did cover numbers when making our owl bags by making and filling them with number biscuits. I did see an idea (here) where you could introduce how much it would cost to make the biscuits – and then consider whether this cost more or less than the supermarket. It could also then be discussed about which would be healthier. I thought that I might do this at a later date.
Instead I decided that I would mention that very important craft tool
NEWSPAPER
Of course it can be used to protect surfaces from paint, pen, glitter, glue – but it’s also fun to rip up!!!
Then we glued some to a letter N
Then of course there’s nothing like a bit of papier-mache
You can make bowls
Or well anything really
and there’s nothing more fun than a newspaper fight
Great for rainy days.
Papier-mache brings back a lot of childhood memories for me….thanks for linking up!!!!
Newspaper fight! Genius! I love that.
Thanks for linking to family frolics! 🙂
Hahahaha a newspaper fight! Never thought of that one (or at least not this way, I remember the rolled up newspapers been swords occassionally), what fun!
Oooh how clever to make this post all about newspaper! Love it. And we DO love paper mache! Nothing quite like it.
Thanks for sharing on Kids Get Crafty!
