Last summer my 9 year old granddaughter attended a few of the kid’s craft classes at A. C. Moore’s, a craft supply store in our area. At one of the classes the kids made these adorable Safari Animal Wreath’s and we just loved them. Matter of fact, we went back to the store a week later and bought the supplies to make a few more.

Kid’s Craft Project: Safari Animal Wreath

6″ Diameter Foam Wreath
Pack of Animal Print Chenille Stems
Pack of Light Green Chenille Stems
Pack of Safari Animal Foam Stickers
10″ Long String for Hanging
Scissors

Wrap each of the pipe cleaners around the foam wreath. You’ll want to wrap them tightly together, so that the wreath doesn’t show from underneath. You’ll want to work around the wreath until it has been completely covered.

Once the wreath is cover…stick the safari animal stickers onto the front. These are medium-sized stickers made from craft foam. The ones that she used in her project feature a monkey, lion, tiger, zebra and an elephant. She really could of used a 6th sticker since she placed them pretty close together. You can space them out. Cut the piece of strip and tie it around the top to form a hanging loop. That’s it, you’re done!

Like I previously stated…after the Princess had made one of the wreaths, she wanted to make a few more to give to her friends. All of the supplies are available at your local A.C. Moore’s craft store.

The cold weather has finally set in and I’ve been trying to keep my 9 year old granddaughter busy. Every week we’ve been sitting down and working on some fun craft projects and today…I’m going to show you these adorable Penguin river rocks that we made. I think the Princess did a great job!

Kid’s Crafts: Painted Penguin River Rocks

Oval Shaped Smooth River Rocks
Black, White and Orange Acrylic Craft Paint
Paint Brush, Water Dish and Paper Towels
Old Newspaper
Clear Acrylic Spray Sealer – Glossy Finish

Cover your work surface with newspaper. You will want to base coat your smooth river rocks with 2 coats of black acrylic paint. Let dry for about 35 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Using the white acrylic craft paint…paint on the penguin’s oval-shaped belly and 2 dots for the eyes. Dip the end of your paint brush into orange acrylic craft paint and dot on orange colored dots for his feet and a triangular shape for his beak. Dip the end of your paint brush into black paint and dot the center of each eye. Use a round wooden toothpick to dot on 2 tiny dots onto his beak. Dip the end of the paint brush back into white paint and dot on the center of each eye. Let paint dry for 30-45 minutes or until no longer tacky.

Have an adult lay newspaper down outside. Lay your painted rocks on top. Spray each rock with a coat of the clear acrylic spray sealer. Let dry for 1 hour. Flip your rocks over and spray the other side with the clear acrylic sealer. Let dry for 1 hour. Your new Penguin river rocks are now ready to be displayed.
