Easy Peasy Craft Your Little Readers Will Love!!

Have you seen seen those little google eyes the kiddos can put on their fingers while they are reading? I thought they looked like a simple motivator my kiddo's would love. I heard you could get them at the dollar store. Well I have searched every dollar store chain and have not found them. Well last week when I was at the craft store I noticed their display for their alien day craft and came up with a super cheap and fun substitution....



Isn't that cute???


I cut my pipe cleaner to 4 inches. The trick is to apply a dot of the tacky glue and then let it 'gel' a few minutes before you assemble. Trust me it keeps things from sliding all over and then it will dry evenly.


Here are a few more I made but the possibilities are endless. Littles could easily make their own, just use q-tips and a bit of glue on a recycled plastic lid.



What do you think?

  7. These are adorable! I actually just found them at Michaels this week but they were $2.99. At least you can use coupons and teacher discount!
