Making : Your child’s very own MOOSE HEAD!

Welcome to Leonny's site! If you're new at Everyday Things and you enjoy the site, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. This way you'll be notified whenever there's a new post! Thanks for visiting!
We love this activity!
It’s very simple and quick to make, and it’s so unique to the child who makes it!
What you need:
1. Paper Carton (we used recycled cereal box)
2. Crayons, scissors, glue
What you do:
- Trace both your child’s hands and one of her foot onto the paper carton, and cut them out
- Colour the ‘hand prints’ (these will be the moose’s horns!)
- Glue the ‘horn’s onto the ‘foot print’ (on the ‘toe’ side)
- Draw a ‘face’ on the ‘foot print’
And that is it!
Your kids get to make their very own moose head AND best of all, mommy gets a ’souvenir’ that will pleasantly remind her of her kids’ tiny hands and feet!
I’m keeping these!

Thanks everyone!
Nice to see lots of you adopting the idea and spending some ‘crafting’ time with the kids!!
And yes, they’ll make cute customised ‘christmas cards’ too, don’t they?
Thanks E, for pointing it out!
Have a great weekend!
