How to get started...

Before I share any ideas with you, it is important that we actually have materials gathered so we are ready to make items.  It can take some time to collect some items, but on the other hand, some items are also very easy to collect.  Items that you should try to collect include:
  • Empty food boxes such as cereal, granola bar, fruit snacks
  • Baby food plastic containers
  • Rubber bands
  • Shoe box lids with old shoelaces
  • Empty tissue box cubes
  • Knick knak items such as buttons, paper clips, beads
  • Milk jugs
  • Empty plastic containers such as ketchup bottles, dish soap bottles, yogurt containers
These are just some ideas of the things that you can collect.  Overtime, it may seem like a lot is collected, but that is okay.  It is always better to have more than not enough!

For our next project, we will be making Sponge Balls.  The basic items that we will need are sponges and cable ties.  Stay tuned...
