- Decorate both sides of the brown paper
sack. My kiddos used markers and stickers.
If you have enough drying time, I think glitter
glue would look cool in the sunlight! Add streamers
with tape to the opening of the bag (optional, but fun!). - Cut a small hole in the middle of the bottom of the bag.
- Tie the string or yarn to a craft stick. Put the string through the hole in the bottom of the bag, from the inside. The craft stick should be inside the bag, stabalizing the string.
- Let it fly! Hold onto the string and run! We even tied our onto the swingset to watch them fly.
Paper Plate Leaves
You will need:
Large Paper Plates
Tan/Brown Cardstock
Yellow/Orange/Tan Tissue Paper
Scissors
School Glue
Stapler
Directions:
First cut your paper plates down to look like leaves. We did a football shape and another shape with some curved triangles taken out. Next cut/tear your tissue paper into small squares. Now take your paper plate cutouts and put a good amount of glue all over them. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue in a mosaic design, until they are completely covered. While they are working on that, cut out a simple stem out of some tan/brown cardstock.
To finish off the Leaves, staple the cardstock stems to the finished paper plates. Then add other embellishments you may see fit before setting aside to let it all dry completely. Then display proudly!
