Necklace made from Toilet Rolls!

Haha to promote substainability, I always encourage Le Xin to recycle. So after completing the vowels activity in the morning, I told her  in the afternoon.....hmm maybe today  we can use toilet rolls to make something again! Le Xin smiled and suggested Mummy can we make necklace?

 

I guess she was inspired by this

 

Le Xin and Daddy Scott wearing my rainbow necklaces....

 

Alright then.......time to get started!

 

Remember how I used the toilet rolls the other time? I am going to make a necklace this time round! Excited!!!!

 

Decorating the toilet rolls with coloured markers...

Hey come to think of it I should also use my stickers too.....so let's me choose a nice one!

 

Let's stick it!

After decorating my toilet rolls, I am going to start making my necklace now!

 

So Mummy gave me this......is this for my head? It's looks like a hat!

 

Finally I can put all my threading exercises that I have been doing to good use.....Hooray!

 

Nicely done! Do you like it?

 

Mummy T2X went a little crazy and kept snapping photos of me....... I know I look like a mini model to her....

Do you love using recycled materials to craft with your child/children/students too?

 

I strong feel that it is a fantastic way for your child to display his/her creativity.You can source an idea from a book, from the internet, from other media as well and try it out with your child.

 

 Just remember that you need to allow him/her to speak to you and listen attentively. Next, make sure you respect his/her input....Always show that you are interested and then allow him/her to express his/her creativity and you will be able to see wonders.......

 

Leaving you guys with my favourite quote from Mary Lou Cook.....

 

"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”

 

What is your definition of Creativity?
