Eli couldn’t wait to try Mom’s latest Pintrest art project.
Once again let me just say how much I like pintrest. It is filled with wonderful ideas many of which are just for kids. When I came across this idea from Vanessa’s Values I knew I needed to start saving our milk jug lids and plastic bottle caps.
All smiles. Please disregard the leftover lunch on Eli’s face. (Elijah did this activity as I was washing the dishes after lunch.)
All you do is take foamies and either glue them on a plastic lid or do like I did and use the foamie stickers. Elijah chose a plane and a car. We keep a bunch of foamies on hand for art projects or to keep Elijah entertained during church. I save the plastic trays that come with produce to use with painting activities. (I don’t save the meat trays.)

This was also a good craft to do to use up some old acrylic paint I found when I was cleaning. It doesn’t have the right consistency for any of my projects but works great for Eli. 🙂
I was fairly impressed with Eli’s stamping abilities.
This craft was so much fun! I did find that milk jug lids worked much better than plastic drink bottle caps for Elijah’s little hands. Guess we will adding milk jug lids to the list of things to repurpose around our home.
We loved this easy inexpensive craft!

This is a really cool idea.
