Arts and Craft Time

Simple arts and craft project. Make a Pencil and Pen holder. First have soup from a tin can. I recommend using the kind that has a pull off tab on top. Make sure there are no sharp metal points sticking out, inside top of can.

First idea: Items needed: Construction paper, crayons, glue, scissors. Cut paper to size and glue it around can. Have your child color pictures on paper. Now use decorated can as pencil and pen holder. Second idea: Items needed: Different colored tissue paper, glue, scissors. Cut out pieces of tissue paper and glue them on tin. Overlap tissue on can for an interesting look. Third idea: Items needed: Two to four kinds of wrapping paper, glue, scissors. Cut pieces of wrapping paper in different shapes and glue on can. You can also cut out designs (cats/cups/birthday hats/sayings) from wrapping paper and layer them on tin.
