Cardboard fort

If you ever spot a large cardboard box being thrown away, (and it's clean, of course), GRAB it! It makes a great fort, tent, boat, etc. Duck tape and wrapping paper tubes, string and cups...let the kids' imagination run wild!

Ants in your Pants craft

 Items Needed
construction paper
raisins
glue
scissors
Black marker

Cut out "pants" shapes from construction paper.  You can take your marker and draw a line about an inch from the top of the pants. You can also cut out "buttons" (or circles) from construction paper and draw dots on them to look like buttons. If your kids are old enough, they can help with the cutting and drawing.  Put drops of glue all over the pants. Have the kids stick the raisins on the glue drops. They can also glue on the button. Once the glue is dry, you can draw legs on the "ants".
