Value Bookshop's Reading Notes

Here is an activity that you can give your children to do when they get restless or bored: fun with paper cups.

So happened I had some paper cups around the house and they were getting a bit dirty cuz’ we hadn’t used them for a long time. I gave them to my kids and said “see what stuff you can create out of them”. And this is what they made:

They made binoculars, flowers and a gift. They also drew pictures on some. This would make a good activity for toddlers too. It will build their pre-writing skills. Gives them something to scribble on besides paper.

Here’s my boy cutting away. I didn’t give them any instructions. Well… I did show them one thing and that was to cut it so it would look like flower petals. That was it. The rest was up to their imagination and creativity.

Flowers for mommy!
