fun arts and crafts ideas for an 8 year old to use while babysitting.?
I am babysitting an 8 year old girl. She really likes arts and crafts, and I am running out of fun ideas that she would like to do. If anyone has a suggestion, it would be helpful. She also likes to bake.
Make clay! Creative Clay!
1 cup of cornstarch
1 cup of baking soda
1-1/4 cups of cold water
Mix ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir, about 5 minutes until
it's very thick -- like mashed potatoes. Cool on a plate until you can work with it with your hands. Roll,
cut, or shape as you wish. Let dry for about 2 days. Paint with acrylics, tempura, watercolors, or
markers.
or make silly glob! its super fun!
Silly Glob!
1/2 cup of Borax
2 quarts + 1-1/2 cups of water
2 cups of white glue
food coloring (Choose ONE color)
Lysol (the Lysol stops spoiling)
plastic bags for storage (Zip Lock is best)
Directions:
1. Mix together 1/2 cup of Borax with 2 quarts of water. Allow the mixture to settle and then use only
the clear liquid. Set aside.
2. Mix 2 cups of white glue (Elmer's is best) with 1-1/2 cups of water. Add food coloring (just a few
drops) if you would like the GLOB to have color. Add a few drops of Lysol (this prevents spoilage). 3.
Add the clear liquid in #1 with the mixture in #2. Knead the mixture together with your hands into your
SILLY GLOB.
4. Store in plastic bag (zip lock type is best).
