Jack and The Beanstalk
This idea came straight from my son. “What should we make today?” and he suggested a beanstalk and he made it very clear that he wanted to be Jack… so this is what we did.
- Gather your materials. You will need some craft paper ( you could use thick wrapping paper, just use the reverse side) , paint, a marker, scissors and some fun brushes or sponges for the beanstalk.
For your very own “Jack” you will need a photograph,scissors and some double stick tape and a clothes pin.
- Take a fun picture of your child posing as Jack- this was what we came up with. I regret letting him stand on the chair I’ve been telling him to get off the chair all day long since … learn from my doppy move and stay on the floor!
- Draw a beanstalk with large leaves. Mine was way less than perfect but we loved it anyway, don’t worry about how it looks, just have fun.
- Next spread some paint. My son was overjoyed to pour so much paint on the beanstalk.
- Spread it with your brushes, we used a bath poof and fun dish sponge.
- Add more – for the second round we used yellow and blue to make green!
- Let dry , cut out and hang on the wall or the inside of a bedroom door!
- Print out the picture or if like me you have no printer, (shocking I know!) run to the store and print one out.
- Cut your very own Jack out and tape a clothes pin to the back of the picture.
- Add to your beanstalk.
- If you want you can add more… we raided the junk drawer for extra pictures and added them.
