I got this idea from a fun mom blog that I read/sometimes click on when I see the title look like a fun project. It was a really good thought, but I have some tips (in red) if anyone tries to recreate it. The kids enjoyed making the balls and as soon as the glue dries on Charlotte's top (she kept taking it off and dumping things out), I think the end result will also be a hit.
Do It Yourself, I Spy Ornaments
*Clear ball ornaments with removable tops
(preferably plastic as we had one ornament not withstand the craziness of Charlotte)
*Tiny trinkets to fill ornament
(even though items are little, make sure they can fit through narrow opening at top of ornament)
*Fake snow or Espon salt
*funnel and glue are optional
*Remove ornament top
*Fill with trinkets
*Fill with snow
(I used a funnel and had to poke it down some... less is better so you can actually find/see the trinkets)
*Replace top and play I Spy
glue top if you want
We used, bells, stocking shaped buttons, plastic crosses, mini Christmas lights, letter beads and attempted mini Christmas themed ornaments -as you can see in some pictures- but they were too wide. Each child did a Christmas version and then since we just had one left, we filled it with house hold stuff like crayons, beads, dice, plastic animals etc...
Wanted to give you a glimpse of Charlotte "Sweatin' to the Oldies" the other day
