Exploring with Binoculars

Happy Spring!

Jean here and today I have a fun project for you and the kids! Do you like to explore – trying to see the birds that have returned, checking out the flowers that are starting to bloom, or maybe you are watching the chipmunks running around the yard. All explorers need equipment and one of those is a pair of binoculars! I have a fun way to make a pair. 

First you need to get your materials. I used pattern paper but you could use you construction paper which the kids can decorate! You also need 2 toilet paper rolls and your favorite Helmar Glue. This time I used my Craft and Hobby PVA glue.

Cut your paper into two  6 inch by 4 inch pieces and glue to the toilet paper rolls using the Craft and Hobby Glue. I put glue on both the paper and the toilet paper roll.

I secured the ends with paper clips until dry.

The rolls can be decorated using stickers, ribbon, or by coloring.

Once decorated, glue them together. Punch holes on the outside and add a ribbon or string.

I hope you give this fun project a try! Spring is a great time for exploring and everyone needs a pair of binoculars!
