Here’s a great way to recycle a few of those plastic potato chip containers. The one we used in our kid’s craft project was from Lay’s STAX Potato Chips. We removed the paper label and washed it out before beginning the project. Let the kid’s get creative! They can use acrylic paint pens, Sharpie Markers, stickers, glue on beads, buttons, and rhinestones, etc.

The project shown today was made by my almost 6 year old grandson with the help from an adult. He used acrylic craft paint pens to decorate his potato chips container. Once dry, it was taken outside and sprayed with 2 light coats of clear acrylic spray sealer to help protect the painted design. Let it completely dry before using it.
You’ll need to use a pair of sharp scissors (an adult) to cut the coin slot in the plastic lid. Make it the size of a .50 cent piece so that all coins will fit through it. You can fold up dollar bills and push them down into it too. These plastic banks can then be toted into the bank and coins dumped through a coin counting machine.
This craft project allows kids to get artistically creative. Plus, you can talk to them about the importance of earning money and saving it. Our grandchildren do chores at their house and at our house and earn money for doing them. Every time they make a bank deposit into their savings accounts they have to deposit 70% of what’s collected in their banks and they can spend the other 30% on whatever they want.

We’re preparing for our first vacation in over a year and heading to the beach. We’ll have a 4 hour drive down and a 4 hour drive back. Inside my daughter’s travel bag is a brand new book titled Colorful Creatures with Stickers and Activities to Make Family Learning Fun Book by Anita Ganeri and Penny Arlon from Weldon Owen publishing.
The book is over-sized and contains 112 pages with pull-out sticker sheets and a giant wall poster in the back. It’s jammed-packed with color photographs, fun animal facts, mazes, word searches, coloring pages, sticker scenes and so much more!
Synopsis: Take a stroll through the rainbow and meet all kinds of different animals. From red and sapphire parrots to black and white orca whales, the animal kingdom is full of your favorite colors and shades.
The colorful artwork and educational facts & information inside this book are amazing! I admit, I learnt quite a few things as I thumbed through the book. If I learned new things, my children will learn new things too!
Fun Facts from the Book: The African queen butterfly is a tasty snack for a bird. The orange butterfly sits on an orange flower to hide or camouflage. Another one: Blue is a color used for showing off on land, but in the sea it is used for blending in.
To go along with this new book I picked up a pack of markers and colored pencils at our local Dollar Store. If you’re gifting the book you’ll want to pick those two items up too! This is the type of activity book that will keep children busy for weeks, not hours! They’ll be learning new things while having some creative fun in the process. Love that!
