Happy Sunshine Clothespin Craft

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day with this Happy Sunshine Clothespin Craft! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You’ll just need:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ miniature clothespins⁣⁣ yellow cardstock⁣⁣ eye stickers or wiggly eyes⁣⁣ black colored pencils⁣⁣ yellow Dot Art marker⁣⁣ circular object to trace or 2 3/4″ circle paper punch⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Instructions:⁣⁣ ⁣ We used a circle paper punch to make the base for our sun, but you could also invite kids to trace a mug or old CD. This craft makes an especially cute refrigerator magnet if you place a strip of magnetic tape to the back.⁣ ⁣ This part is so fun! Kids will get a kick out of dying wooden clothespin with a yellow Dot Art marker. Simply place the clothespins on a paper towel and invite kids to press the dot marker onto them. The paper towel will catch the ink that doesn’t absorb into the wood.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As the clothespins are drying, invite kids to create their circle with the paper punch or by tracing a round object.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Press eye stickers or wiggly eyes onto the paper, then invite kids to draw a mouth on their sunshine with a black pen and crayons or a colored pencil.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Show kids how to squeeze the clothespins onto the yellow circle to make it a sunshine!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #kidsactivities #kidsactivitiesblog #springtime #spring #springcrafts #kidscrafts #diy ⁣⁣ ⁣
