Fun Winter Projects

Ok I can't find those popcorn compositions i was gona post. will post if I find them yet! Anyway here is just a few fun winter projects we've been doing in the last few weeks! Yesterday for art we did Frosty the Snowman paper bag puppets! They loved them! Just a Frosty head glued on front & back of bag!
Last week for art we made Borax Snowflakes(snowflags as my 1 lil girl calls them!) Anyway cut a pipecleaner in 3 equal pieces & twist together in the middle to make a 6point star. Tie thread to 1 point then move around star wrapping around each point. Next take a wide mouth quart jar & fill with boiling water. Mine had all boiled but had cooled abit before I filled their jars. Disolve 3 TBSP of Borax per cup of water. There might be some white stuff not disolved. Hang snowflake off pencil & hang in Borax water. Leave over night & by the time you remove them the next day your snowflake should be covered in crystals! Beautiful! After mine dried I hung them from the ceiling! We did all colors or you can do just white or add food coloring to the water to tint it...
Now does anyone have craft ideas to use Kool-Aid Jammers?! I'm thinking of lunch bags & using this cool duct tape you can get instead of sewing.
