Pendants to cover Holiday Countdown


I purchased a Sculpey clay packet (about $1 a pack)(this project took less than one white pack). Following it's directions I prepared the clay. I then rolled little balls of white clay and squished them with a small 1" circle stamp (mine were basic clear stamps for paper crafting) to impress the image. I made 25 little pendants to cover my Bingo Holiday Countdown Board. I baked as directed (275* for 15 min). Had fun making these with the kids. For other Sculpey ideas go to their website.

***These could also be jewlry charms or pendants.

Elephant Horn

FUN. We made these great horns easily following directions here at Journey into Unschooling. The horn had to be held tight with the straw & tube creating a right angle like pictured to work. We love these. Needed: Paper tube(toilet paper), disposable latex glove, & a straw.

Paper Rockets


With paper wrapped around a pencil you can make a rocket. It flies through the air off the end of a straw. Found this idea here at Heaps of Laundry. They made theirs look like a real rocket.
