Thanks all for your overwhelming response on our project from the last week,
"Telling the Time".
L loves butterflies and so we decided to make a butterfly with egg carton.
"Telling the Time".
L loves butterflies and so we decided to make a butterfly with egg carton.
Here is L's butterfly.
She is a Thomas fan. She loved it when I said why can't we try making a Thomas engine. We used egg carton, toilet roll, white paper and few paints to make Thomas!
She was excited to go and mess up with paints and glue.
Yay, L's Thomas is ready!
But, she recalled the "Life cycle of butterfly" lesson she learned from the school.
And said mum, no butterfly project is complete without a caterpillar in it.
She just went ahead and made a caterpillar. Dad helped with scissors.
All these are made from things readily available at home. No fancy things have been used since I am reluctant to spend few bucks on some fancy stuffs. You can easily go and give a try!
Happy Tuesday!
What are you up to?
Linking with Let kids be kids, Tuesday Pin Party,

DeleteLove them both...of course we have a Thomas fan here too.
ReplyDeleteYou go Liya...have fun too.
I love your Thomas fan. He is such a cute darling. Have fun sis!
DeleteEgg cartons are so versatile. So many things you can make with them and they are a great surface to paint. We recycle egg cartons thi s weekend too! #LetKidsBeKids
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Cheryl. Egg cartons make wonderful crafts and they are easy to do as well.
DeleteGreat idea! I love the butterfly and I know my son would love the train :D Thanks for linking up with Tuesday Tutorials
ReplyDeleteThanks for the linky Kate. I loved visiting other mums and got many ideas too. :)
DeleteI like the butterfly but I think the caterpillar is the best, very cute! #letkidsbekids
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine. Have a great rest of the week!
DeleteLove these. We haven't tried making anything with egg cartons yet - only kitchen and toilet roll tubes! Will have to give it a go. There's a great caterpillar I've seen on Pinterest - he'd go very well with your butterfly!
ReplyDeleteGive it a try.
DeleteP.S Loved your rainbow hand printing.!
I wonder, where do you get these ideas from Nishana?!
ReplyDeleteIt's great and looks like you all had fun making and painting these eggs cartons. It's much better to recycle than spent huge amounts in crafts all over the place.
Have a good day.
You're right Marie. It's fun to recycle when you have little ones who love painting and messing up. I am sure soon you will start seeing Mr. P growing into a messy player... lol!
DeleteHave a great rest of the weel!
These really are amazing! Such simple ideas but they are so effective and look fantastic! You really have some wonderful crafty ideas, brilliant stuff and looks like she loved making them too :) Thanks so much for linking with #creativechallenge xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline. I always look forward to what you do with your son. You got many easy to do ideas too. It was pleasure linking up there and seeing many creative ideas from mums. Love it!
DeleteI love it, such great ideas. And you're right, we always have egg cartons around. I think my older daughter would enjoy this as much as my 3 year old, thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you liked it. Wish you happy crafting time with kiddies. :)
DeleteThey are all such clever ideas, I especially love the butterfly. I know my girls would love to have a go at making their own. #minicreations

Thanks Rachel. I loved your ideas on Caterpillar story. I will someday try that with my girl. :) IA
DeleteThat's lovely - did you read The Very Hungry Caterpillar Afterwards?!
ReplyDeleteThe Very Hungry Caterpillar is being read almost very often in our household. Kids are never tired of learning from caterpillar, I wonder!
DeleteOh what fantastic ideas! I am hoping to hatch our own butterflies this year so I may do this activity with them too :)
