Origami

Origami isn’t just for adults with lots of time on their hands. Here are some easy origami designs for your kid to try.  

Sharpie

  1. Using the sun, make cool shadows with objects and outline them with marker.

 

 

 

 

2. Rubbing alcohol mixed with sharpie creates incredible designs. Have your kids draw on tiles or even a plain t-shirt then mix with alcohol. The result will blow your mind!

3. Your child can also draw on a plain mug then allow it to dry for 24 hours before putting it in the oven at 300F for 30 minutes.
