I had green, dessert plates left-over from a birthday party. I thought they would be perfect to use for witch faces. We used a lot of our scrap, sparkly foam left overs. The eyes are actually the adhesive, foam, letter O's! The noses are scrap, sparkly, green, adhesive, craft foam pieces. I punched three holes on the side of each plate and pushed pipe cleaners through the holes and twisted them to make hair. Addie and Tana picked out the hair and hat colors for this fun project!
Materials Needed: green, paper, dessert plate, craft foam in various colors, pipe cleaners, and hole punch
My blog features the activities and projects I do with my children. I have 3 children age 11, 7 and 4. I watch an infant, plus my 4 year old nephew! This blog highlights the activities/projects we create during the week. It also provides a way for me to organize all of the activities and projects we do, and it is a great way to share the projects/activities. I hope this blog will become a great resource and inspire creativity.
