Arts and crafts time!

Here are just some of the arts and crafts we do.  

The art of folding paper.

Origami or in Korean, jongijeopgi 종이접기 .

Freezing water in between two different sized bowls with flowers, or your choice of decoration, inside.  Plus some ice glasses and drinkable straws.  

 A ukulele made out of cardboard and rubber bands.

We melted the leftover small pieces of crayon into a heart shape mold to make one big colorful crayon.

These were supposed to be crayon dog bones.  I ended up having to make the mold myself using aluminum foil because I never found one to buy.  They kind of turned out?  :-)

These are the birthday invitations for that same dog themed birthday party. The dog bones, with the birthday party info, can be pulled out. 

Make your own kite out of grocery bags and wooden barbecue skewers.

Melting Hama beads in the oven to make these bracelets.

Hama beads, the original way.

Lena's artwork with some playdough we got from Amy.

Silk paper flowers.

 Carved "pumpkins" Jack-O-Lantern faces out of empty orange peels.

Using a nail and hammer we made these lantern pumpkins.  
These were hard to make, and I do not recommend children doing this.  I had originally planned on making five, but stopped after two because of a sore thumbs.
