And so it begins... Project 1: Stick Snakes

Idea from here: http://www.creativejewishmom.com/2010/06/summer-crafting-painted-stick-snakes-sssssssss.html

Our simplified version:


Supplies Needed: Paint, Paintbrush for each color of paint, Craft googly eyes, All-Purpose Glue, Sticks (the boys found these in our yard as part of the activity), Garbage bag to cover table

Prep: EASY
Clean-up: MEDIUM
Time it took: About 20 minutes to paint, but then I let them paint on paper and that kept them busy for at least 30 minutes more which gave the paint time to dry so we could glue the eyes on.

Notes:
Motivated boys to do chores: YES
Kept their attention: YES
Easy: YES
Stress Level for Mom: LOW

Required supervision: YES
Messy: YES
Breakable: YES, If played with eyes may fall off
Harmful/ Dangerous to play with: NO
