Today I’m sooo excited to introduce you all to Maggy of Red Ted Art! Maggy’s darling blog is filled to the brim with kids craft ideas and so much more! I just love popping by often to see what new things Maggy has up her sleeve.
Today Maggy is sharing a simple, but oh so cute kids craft idea that is featured in her wonderful ebook “Time on your Hands”
1) Materials: Loo Roll, Scissors, Paper, Pen, Sellotape
2) Cut a strip of loo roll: the armband
3) Cut a circle and draw a watch face
4) Sellotape on (you can glue it, but takes a while to dry!
variations:
-let your toddler decorate the wristband and watch face:
-decorate loo roll: with feathers, fake gems, paint, pens, whatever takes your fancy (avoid glitter with this one, you will have it ALL over the house)
-instead of loo roll, cut a strip of coloured card and sellotape it – good for older childrenwith bigger wrists.
-Maybe you can be SUPER crafty and with a pin make a moving clock arms
Doesn’t this sound so fun!
The kids and I loved making our own watches this past week!

We totally used TP rolls Anne. 🙂
These are fun! I’m going to have to make them with my kids one day! 🙂
So cute!! Love the craft & the books to go along with the theme! 🙂 Also, Maggie is such a sweetheart — so nice to see her featured on your lovely blog!
So adorable!! I have to show my daughter this!!
Those are too cute! Thanks for hosting! 🙂
I just wanted to let everyone know that paper towel rolls are a much more sanitary way of getting cardboard tubes. I work for a parent education company and we are not allowed to use tp rolls because of the bacteria that is potentially on them. A friend told me that she bakes hers in the oven to kill anything that might be on them. Sorry to gross everyone out, just want to protect from germs.
