One of my friends at I Love to Create asked if I had any project ideas for kids using their new dry adhesive products. So, I thought up a couple of ideas and I'm excited to share them with you today. These products work great with kids because there's no mess. Nice.

One of my friends at I Love to Create asked if I had any project ideas for kids using their new dry adhesive products. So, I thought up a couple of ideas and I'm excited to share them with you today. These products work great with kids because there's no mess. Nice.
The first idea was a Color Scavenger Hunt. I cut up a cereal box into the shape of a artist's palette and then I drew circles and labeled them with a color name.
I let Rex color in the circles with the right color.
Then I had him use glue dots, applying one to each circle. (They are kind of hard to see.)
Then we headed outside to search for all the colors. He picked up something in each color and stuck it to the glue dot. It was really fun and he got pretty into it.
I love how his little palette looked after we were done.
For my younger son, I made a Nature Bracelet. (My older son did something like this last year in preschool, which gave me the idea.) I cut a strip of paper about an inch longer than the circumference of his wrist. I applied three lines of the tacky line roll to it.
I wrapped it around his wrist so that the overlapped part stuck to the other side of the bracelet.
While Rex searched for colors Baden picked up anything he liked and stuck it to his little bracelet. The adhesive sticks well enough that he could even stick acorns to it.
He thought is was pretty cool.
These activities took very little time to prepare and my boys really enjoyed them. It's great weather for a little scavenger hunt right now too. There were still flowers to collect and plenty of leaves starting to turn colors.
So enjoy this prefect weather while it lasts! Thanks for reading.

Thank you for sharing this. My daughter would love the color scavenger hunt. I love these cooler days where we can linger and enjoy our walks outside =)
Love, LOVE that artist palette idea!!!
Great idea for the kids to do. I will have to do this with my little one. You boys are so handsome.

You reminded me, I used to do those types of nature bracelets with my kids using duct tape. They loved them! Love the artist palette idea here as well.
I'm going to have to put this idea in the craft folder for when my oldest is learning colors. Thank you for the great idea!
I love both of these ideas!
Very cute idea. My little nature boy will love this. If it ever stops raining, maybe we can try this out!
What a fantastic idea! i so want to do this!
love these ideas-thanks so much for sharing!
We are heading out camping in a few weeks. And this is the perfect, no fuss no mess thing to take for the kiddos to do. Thanks!
Very cute idea!
These are such great ideas. BTW, you're kids are way too cute. I always love seeing them in your posts.
You are so awesome! I love this!!
What a brilliant idea! I have a one-year-old, and can't wait until he's just a little bit older and can appreciate the beautiful fall colors!
What a brilliant idea! I'll sure use it with my kids one day... Thanks for sharing it.
I love the palette idea. We'll have to try that. Last year, I did the nature bracelet but used inside out duck tape. Works perfect.
This looks like so much fun! Thanks for the great ideas!
This is awesome! You have the best idea's :) I have two boys also that are both just a bit younger than yours!
I love this idea! What a great way to get outside and explore nature :)
I hope you don't mind - I pinned it so that I'll remember to do it ;)
I did your egg carton scavenger hunt using colors and I colored the inside of each egg space. I referenced you in my blog a few weeks ago!
We played the Color Scavenger Hunt with much fun. Thanks for sharing a good idea
The palette idea is so clever!
This week we made 2 uge palettes. The kids had so much fun cutting, colouring and filling them - they are so proud of their results!
Love, love, love this activity. Do you mind if I link back to you? I will give you full credit, of course!! My blog is Carrots Are Orange at www.carrotsareorange.com! Thank you!
