duct tape kids craft

Last night my niece came home from grandma's house with a new craft project for us to do together! She told my mom that she wanted to do them with yaya (that's what she has called me since she was a baby!) because I'm crafty! Her craft came in a kit, but it would be simple to buy the pieces separately or use things you may already have and create your own little kit.

Here is what you would need:
~ plastic (or really any kind of) bangles. {These could be old wooden or plastic bangles that need an update or I'm sure they sell plain plastic bangles at craft stores}
~ funky duct tape {Any color or pattern that you want!}
~ scissors

You can either cover the whole bangle with tape or just make different patterns on top of the existing color. Wrapping the duct tape around the bangle is pretty simple. The only thing to pay attention to is that it makes it easier if you start at an angle and wrap by overlapping a bit. Not only does it make the tape bubble less, but it also helps to make sure the tape covers the whole bangle.

I took a few pictures of the process, but I will add more when we work on them again.

She's really excited!

So you can see some of the steps and ideas you can take from this project. It is really easy and great for kids. Plus, it really helps kids with fine motor skills. Teachers will like that!!
