Do your kids like to turn recyclables into something special? We are feeling inspired to bring out our Making Box again this week, after our recent stint as a Guest Judge for @kidscrafts101 over on Instagram.
Set up by the fabulous ladies behind Red Ted Art and Incredibusy. Kids Crafts 101 invites people to tag their awesome arts and crafts activities with the hashtag #kidscrafts101 over on Instagram. A weekly Guest Judge is then invited to pick their Top 9 posts from the week. We were delighted to be invited over to pick our favourites. We had such a great time exploring the # and finding lots of new Instagram accounts to follow.
We were spoiled for choice in making our Top picks, but we decided to stay true to our roots over here at Crafty Kids at Home. We have picked 9 inspirational Junk Modelling projects. I am forever saving bits and bobs to go into our Making Box and then challenging my kids to create or invent something with the items inside. How about you? Do you keep a Making Box filled with supplies ready for a rainy day at home?
