Looking to unleash some creative energy? We've got just the thing. Raid the kitchen drawers and make one - or all! - of these fun, at-home crafts.
DIY Noisemaker Crafts
Noisemakers are a key component of every ‘around the house’ marching band. Experiment by filling them with different items to affect the sound they make. Some suggestions – dry pasta, loose change, salt and dry beans. Make sure to spend time decorating each one as well. You’ll want everyone to know which one is yours when you're making those sweet, sweet, pasta sounds.
DIY Toy Binoculars
Adventure you say? Treasure be near? Grab your cup binoculars and head out on the trail. Hide a few clues around the house so your little explorers can follow the path to the certain riches and wonder that await. Feeling less ambitious? Use them to have a fun bird watching session out your back window and talk about which birds like to visit your yard.
DIY Marshmallow Launcher
If a bit of competition is what you crave then these next to ideas are right up your alley. Create these marshmallow launchers and then sit at opposite ends of the room. Next to each person set a cup, a hat and a large bowl. Take turns launching your marshmallows to try to land them in one of the objects. Bowl = 1 point. Hat = 3 points. Cup = 5 points.
DIY Mini basketball Hoops
Similar to the marshmallow launcher game above. Create your Solo Cup basketball hoops. Then sit at opposite ends of a table and take turns trying to sink shots using popcorn, pretzels or another snack of your choice.
