diy / nature binoculars

materials:

- toilet paper or paper towel rolls

- hot glue

- paint

- string

- felt

- scissors

 cut the rolls to the size you'd like. cut a little piece for the middle part. paint the rolls. glue rolls together. cut a strip of felt to put around the edge. glue. punch holes in the rolls for the string. 

go on an adventure..if you have lots of extra toilet paper rolls, [here is another project]

 

 

 

naturally, we had to go on an adventure after making these. 

we looked for birds and collected sticks.

diy / adventure book

this book was inspired by the movie [up]

this movie is our summer inspiration. we are going to be unplugged all summer.
explore our city and beyond. this adventure book will be a collection of photos and drawings.
summer 2016! can't wait to see what you have in store.

materials:
- cardboard
- fabric
- felt (for letters)
- hot glue or fabric glue
- tag board, note cards, thick paper

 first i cut the cardboard to be the size i wanted. i used different fabric scraps to make a mountain landscape. felt is the easiest fabric material for letters. sew / glue your fabric cover first. then you can glue the fabric cover to the cardboard. i put tag board on the inside to keep it clean looking. added little folders for our adventure souvenirs.

adventure is out there!
