This is another one of those post-Easter posts...sorry about that.
This was such a fun craft to do with the kids! Even if I couldn't find my googly eyes at the time.
•empty milk jug
•scissors
•pink construction paper
•white printer paper (or other white paper)
•glue
•tape
•permanent marker
•googly eyes, if desired
•2 white pipe cleaners
- To prepare the milk jug, simply rinse it out & cut the top off while still leaving the handle intact. Allow to dry.
- Use one sheet of pink construction paper & one sheet of white printer paper to cut the ears (be sure the pink is slightly smaller than the white). Use glue to hold them together & then tape to secure them to the jug.
- Use a permanent marker or googly eyes (if you can find them in your multiple totes of craft supplies) for the eyes & permanent marker for the mouth.
- Use two white pipe cleaners for the whiskers by twisting them together to form an "X", curl the ends & secure them by cutting a small slit at the mouth & taping them on the inside.
Already my kids are thinking of different animals & even monsters to make from milk jugs. (Which is fine with me since they're drinking more milk.) Although I'm not too sure how I'm going to pull off making a horse...
