Doesn't it seem like every parent hears the dreaded "I'm bored" at least 10 times more over the summer months. Macaroni Kid has teamed up with Duck Tape® Brand to bring you an excellent way to cure those bored blues...
Turn off the electronics and CREATE! Not your kid, you say? Well there are tons of ideas to create useful items that will keep any kid type from your shining knight to your bookworm busy and gratified. You can check here for inspiration: http://duckbrand.com/craft-decor
We held a Duck Tape® Makers Party at the Healthy Living Center inside the Port Orange YMCA and all of the kids created something that interested them. I loved watching their little minds working to think of an idea, try it out, rework it, and try again. That is were the learning really happens! Finding fun, engaging, and creative ways to retain all that they have learned during the school year is always the goal. Doing it for themselves also instills a sense of pride and accomplishment. This party was a win, win! The list of items created is rather extensive lol:
Personalized re-writable worksheet
Pencil caddy
Corner book marks
Baskets
Bracelets
Bows
Flowers
Cell phone case
Sword and Shield
Wearable ruler
Goggles
Action figures
Dry erase board with build your alphabet pieces
and more!
If they can imagine it, they can create it!
And if you're feeling creative host a Duck Tape Maker party of your own! You can invite all the kids on your block, all you need is a few rolls of Duck Tape®, the kids will do the rest as you can see from our party pics: http://bit.ly/2rWZ4l4 There is no limit to what they can create :)
