::A Simple Afternoon Project:
So you can’t keep EVERY painting, coloring page & scrap doodle, but you can re-use some of them! We’re all about printing on the back of old copies, painting on trash-mail, recycling unwanted solicitations & today we did just that.
fold a piece of construction paper in half & cut straight lines from the folded edge leaving 1 inch uncut at the top.
cut up strips of scrap paintings, etc. in all different widths.
Unfold the construction paper & weave, weave, weave! (we even through in some strands of yarn for fun)

Elizabeth made those in art class in kindergarten, and I thought they were the sweetest things! I wish I'd saved it and made it into a placemat now! 🙂
I love the idea of making it into a placemat!!
oh how fun! I remember doing that in school with magazines! 😉
This is a very cute idea and I love that you can make placemats out of them. I also loved the bean activity. I think you are doing a lot more than you think you are doing to stimulate your youngins! You are definitely doing a lot more than I am:) They are just lucky if they get fed:)
yeh. I guess I'll go to Office Depot for that? & Kallie, you have a good excuse. making siblings is MUCH harder than weaving paper & counting beans…
