That was the theme for Sophie's 3rd birthday party this weekend. I'm a big fan of having a craft available for the kids to create at birthday parties. Last year, we did mini canvas paintings for Sophie's Rapunzel themed party. This year we decided on a spyglass craft for treas-arghhh hunting. I, for one, think they turned out pretty darn cute. They were a hit with our crew of 3 year old pirates too! Here's how we did it.
Supplies
Toilet paper rolls
Paper coffee cups
Knife
Medium brown spray paint
Dark brown spray paint
Yellow 1inch wide ribbon
Hot glue gun
Glue
Tons of your favorite stickers
Directions For Parents.
1. Cut a hole (smaller than that of the diameter of the toilet paper roll) in the bottom of the paper cup.
2. Hot glue toilet paper roll to bottom of cup.
3. Spray paint with Medium brown first, then with dark brown to add textured look.
4. Hot glue ribbon in 3 places around either end of craft and in the middle.
Directions For Kids.
5. Use letter stickers and other favorite picture stickers for to decorate the craft. We suggest spelling your name with stickers first and then follow up with your favorite stickers. Happy treasure hunting!
