diy / rainy day marble shooter

perfect project for a rainy day inside. with materials you already have.

materials:

- glue gun

- scissors

- cardboard

- paper towel rolls / toilet paper rolls

- markers

- marbles

first step is decorating your marble shooter. i started with the "base" where the marbles will be caught at the end (made a little box), and worked my way up. cutting the cardboard rolls in half and gluing them. there is some trial and error but overall it was pretty simple to construct. i can guarantee at least 1 hour of entertainment, or your money back ;) 

 

diy / mini canvas projects

 

these little mini canvases are fun for a variety of toddler friendly projects.

mini canvas magnets:

 

materials:

- mini canvas 

- washable paint & brush

- markers

these are very simple to make, we did paint first, let it dry and marker drawings on top. hot glue a magnet on the back and they make great 'fridge art.

mini canvas plant art:

 

materials:

- mini canvas 

- washable paint (black) & brush

the idea was to make [Rorschach inkblot] type art, so we used black paint. these look great in our bathroom, and took about 10 min to make. plants enjoy art too.

superhero mini canvas:

 

materials:

- mini canvas (a little bit larger than the two above)

- watercolor paint

- crayons

- modge podge or glue
- print out of your favorite superhero

first color your superhero with crayons, then paint over with watercolors. cut him/her out and glue to the canvas. hang and display. i used thumb tacks to hang these.
