DIY Building Blocks

All right, we're back with another fun craft to occupy the kids (or, if you're like Joy, yourself) during March Break. It's from the book I Can Make That! by Mary Wallace. 

Drum roll please...

DIY building blocks made from stuff you probably have lying around the house!

How cool is this, right? All you need is cardboard, construction paper, paper towel and toilet paper tubes, paint, scissors, and any other bits and bobs you feel like using. The sky is really the limit here. If you're looking for a craft that'll keep them occupied for more than fifteen minutes, this is definitely one to consider. Not only do they have to cut and colour the cardboard and paper, there's hours of fun to be had afterward creating all sorts of buildings and figures! This would be a good craft for babysitters to either make ahead of time, or bring to the kids' homes for something fun and different. 

Have a good one!
