The Mom I Want to Be

 

 

I love wreaths, they are the perfect way to decorate and although I made a Halloween Wreath last week I wanted to share how my son  got in on the fun too. We actually made this one weeks ago. This Halloween craft was fun for both of us I love the organic look to it. If you don’t have a paper plate to use any cardboard cut into a circle will do!

Gather your materials. You will need dried black beans, dried orange lentils, a paper plate, orange ribbon, white glue, bowls to mix , a spoon and scissors.

Start by having your child mix the black beans and orange lentils. It was at this point that I got the idea for this sensory tub. My son loved this step.  While they play with the beans and lentils add glue, lots and lots of glue.  Add the beans and lentils. It was hard getting photos of this because I was helping him drizzle them on.   Keep going until all the glue is covered. Let dry – I popped it outside in the sun to dry faster! When it’s all dry cut out the middle.  Shake off any loose lentils and beans.  Add an orange ribbon.  Hang up !
