This weekends kiddie craft (PIP)

I finally had the chance to try this craft from last years Disney Family Fun article and DD had a blast! I was so good at doing crafts with her this fall but have really fallen behind this winter and I feel terrible.

  • Cute! 

    Does it dry hard and firm?  I tried to make ornaments using balloons and wrapping gluey yarn around it then popping the balloon.  It didn't work great.  I'd like to try the same thing again but for a different craft project.

  • It does dry firm but you still have to be gentle with it. The glue is pretty gooey and to speed up the drying I put them in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours. We attached a magnet to the back and it is hanging on the fridge now.

    I have always wanted to try the balloon craft. I am thinking may-be at Easter we will attempt this and call it an easter egg :)

  • Cute! Your DD is adorable. I can't wait for DS to be old enough to do art projects with.

    I'm making 'hot air balloons' for my son's room.  I hope it works!!!!
