Create a zoo of animals!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Oh, the many uses of cardboard! Thanks to online shopping, we often have several flattened boxes in our recycle bin. Sturdy corrugated cardboard it is one of my favorite materials! It can be turned into a box town, a lemonade stand sign, a candy ATM, or these colorful zoo animals that I made for Family Fun magazine. They're easy to make (using the templates, below) and fun to paint and play with!

The channels inside corrugated cardboard are perfect for holding pipe cleaner tails and tusks! I used scissors to taper the ends of the pipe cleaner for the elephant's tusks and tail and camel's tail.

The animals can live in a world your child creates with blocks, Lincoln Logs, or anything!

Share your zoo (or any cardboard project!) with me on Instagram! Tag @supermakeit and show off your creations!

Create a space rocket using an empty water bottle. Make sure to decorate it!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We really are in a space kind of mood since our solar system play dough activity and toilet paper roll space shuttles that making a rocket seemed like a necessary thing to do :). We used a recycled soda bottle that I had leftover from making our recycled soda bottle flowers and added in some more recycled parts to make a rocket craft that is out of this world! I love how the added recycled parts give it a fancy look and they are more sturdy then cardboard rockets.

Since we made our rockets my kids have been flying them around the house nonstop. We can't stop singing the blast off song...1, 2, 3, 4, 5 blast off... then jumping up making our rockets fly as high as we can reach in the air.

Wrapping paper/craft paper
My daughter helped to cut out the paper and foam, and also decorated her rocket with stickers. I did the rest. Your child's age and skill level will determine how much they can help with the construction of their rocket.
1. Cut the bottom of the soda bottle off. (I used a knife to puncture the bottle to make a hole so I could get my scissors inside the bottle to cut). Then cut a straight line to the top of the bottle and cut the neck of the soda bottle off.

2. Fit the remaining bottom portion of your soda bottle inside the groves of your laundry detergent lid (the sides of the soda bottle should be overlapping). Tape the soda bottle closed.

3. Remove the soda bottle and cover with paper and secure with tape. Fill the grove of the laundry detergent lid with hot glue and replace the soda bottle to secure the two pieces together. Hot glue the food pouch lid to the front of the rocket.

3. Cut out 4 triangles from the craft foam and hot glue them to the sides of the rocket.

For an added element of fun, we put some glow in the dark paint on our rockets to play with under our black light. Some of our foam star stickers even glowed.

1, 2, 3...blast off!!! Thanks for joining us today!

Add to your Space Activities with these fun ideas from our Homeschool Unit Study group. We have gathered our favorite Space Themed activities for you. Just click on a photo below to find out more about each activity.

Today's Cardboard Tube Space Shuttle craft comes straight out of the Happy Handmade Book that I received for free from my friend Leslie from Pink Stripey Socksin order to provide an honest review of the craft e-book she contributed to. After our U is for Universe activity we have been in an outer space kind of mood so we chose to make the Cardboard Tube Space Shuttles.

Cardboard Tube Space Shuttle

I loved how easy they were to make, and used all recycled supplies (cardboard tubes and cereal boxes). I quickly cut out our space shuttle frames and pulled out some toilet paper rolls. Then we painted our shuttles and headed off to the grocery store. When we returned we decorated them and started playing. My daughter is determined to fly into space when she gets older...my little astronaut in training :).

Some More Recycled Crafts We Have Done:

Cardboard Tube Space Shuttles by Happy Handmade

Straight from the Happy Handmade Book. Don't forget to read our book review below and find out how to get your own copy of this fabulous book!

Happy Handmade is in e-book format so all you have to do is purchase, download, and you're ready to craft. This means it's a PDF document that reads like a fabulous craft book. The best part is you don't have to find a spot on the book shelf to store it! When we started looking for a craft to try out it was hard to chose which one. My daughter literally decided she wanted to do all of them. The nice thing is that we can do them all without having to run to the craft store because the list of supplies includes typical craft and recycled supplies (cardboard tubes, socks, shoe boxes, and plastic bottles to name a few). Happy Handmade is beautifully designed with helpful step-by-step photos and directions. The craft ideas are fun, unique, and perfect for sparking creativity and imagination. I know you would like this book because you are already a fan of one of the awesome crafts it contains! The price of the book is $12.99 which includes 115 pages of fun projects and free craft templates.

You can buy the book from anywhere in the world. Payment is via Paypal, which will take care of currency conversions if needed. It is recommended that you download the book to a computer, and then share it with your mobile device if you want it on your phone too (for all those craft anywhere type of people :). You can use the book in digital form or print it off if you would like.

Have a great day!
Love, Katie & the Kiddos

I have been wanting to try stamping with LEGO® bricks ever since I saw the idea on Filth Wizardry. Well, I'm glad we finally tried it because it was a huge hit! I would highly recommend this art activity for kids of all ages. My 4, 6, 9, and 11 year olds all enjoyed it, and I had as much fun as they did. This is a delightful way to spend an afternoon at home, but would also work well for an art class or a LEGO® club!

Stamping with LEGO® bricks is super easy, but I do have a couple of important tips.

We used ink pads that I bought at Hobby Lobby. They were $2.99 each, and although they were not the highest quality option in the store, I was really impressed with them!
Build handles onto your stamps.
We wanted to use several of our plates (flat bricks) for stamping, but those are hard to hold onto without getting ink all over your fingers. Attach a couple of bricks to each one to give kids something to hang onto.
Put felt under your paper.
This tip is really important. We put a piece of felt under our paper to improve the quality of our stamps. If you stamp on paper that is on a hard surface, you'll only get the outline of the brick to print. Putting a sheet of felt under the paper gives it just enough "squish" to make the entire brick come out nice and clear.
Cover your work surface.
I covered our table with paper, which ended up being a really good idea. The kids ended up getting ink on the paper when they set the stamps down between uses.

The ink does wipe up easily off the table, but it was so much easier to just throw the paper away. The paper I used was from a large roll that we bought at IKEA.

Cleaning up was not difficult at all. The water-based ink washed off the LEGO® bricks quite easily. I would recommend not using yellow or white bricks, however. I chose to use some light colors just to see what would happen! These were the only two colors that showed some ink residue after washing.

What can you create with LEGO® stamping? All kinds of things!

The boys had fun creating spaceships, buildings, and random patterns. I made the robot one! And the circular pattern.

One of the boys figured out how make a millennium falcon and some tie fighters. 🙂

I think the next thing we'll do is cover a large piece of paper from our paper roll with LEGO® stamps! It would make fantastic gift wrap!

Have fun with brick art!

Grab some recyclables, paper and paint and have some fun!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I've got a fun art project today that both my kids actually got into! Even my youngest who would rather play with action figures than pick up a paint brush enjoyed it. It all came about because I'm partnering with Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. Their Care To Recycle® program is designed to raise awareness about recyclables in the one area of your home that is most often overlooked: the bathroom. ( Bet you didn't know that.)

Yep, it turns out that only 1 in 5 people say they consistently recycle items they use in the bathroom.* I thought, "Well. What if we collect those items to use in a fun project first? Then we won't forget about recycling them."

And so our printing art project from recyclable materials was born. The boys ( And me, too! I love to join in activities like this.) had fun with this after school earlier this week and I even made a little video. Before you leave, be sure to check out the PETE's Bathroom Bin Challenge contest. ( Details at the end of this post.)
First gather your supplies:

Head to the bathroom to find all those plastic containers. If you use cardboard items like toilet paper rolls or bandaid boxes, they will no longer be recyclable if they are covered in paint. If you don't want to wash up afterwards, then use only the items which are not recyclable. You can find out more about what is commonly accepted for recycling here.

Washable paint. In order for the items to be suitable for recycling after your masterpiece is created, you must wash the containers afterwards. That's what I like about this art project. The materials do not end up in a landfill. You can still recycle them!

Paper. Use a nice, thick paper that can hold paint if you wish to save your creations.

Plate. I used a sturdy plastic plate left over from a picnic, which I washed afterwards! Remember, if you use and dispose, it's just more landfill. Make sure you can reuse or recycle all your materials.

The directions are easy: Have fun dipping, dabbing, swirling, stamping, mixing and designing.

After we washed our recyclables - remember, items should be clean and dry - ( Honestly, the boys liked this just as much as the painting!) we dropped them in our recycle bin. You can find out more about what items are recyclable at Care To Recycle®.

Check out how much fun it was:

This year, Johnson & Johnson's Care To Recycle® partnered with Scholastic to create a national school curriculum and contest to help educate students in grades 1-3 and their families about the importance of recycling bathroom products. You can find information for families and teachers on the Scholastic Care To Recycle® website. There are lesson plans, videos, comic strips and more resource links.
Do we not all love a good contest that encourages kids to get involved? The PETE's Bathroom Bin Challenge contest is an exciting opportunity for students/kids grades 1-3 to win great prizes. To enter, students/kids must:
P.S. Keep an eye our for PETE the Duck, the Care To Recycle® "spokesducky". You'll see him hanging out on the program materials and contest information.
Now we have a snazzy poster to put up in our bathroom to remind us to recycle those oft-forgotten items.
