I don't often have an excuse to watch CBBC but with friends visiting at the weekend with their kids, I found myself in front of the telly on Saturday morning watching Mister Maker and discovered a great programme full of ideas for things to make.
And since it's half term for most of you, I thought you might like this idea (which is still available on i-player for a few more days and this demo is about 16 minutes into the programme).
Gloopy Glue Splat Monsters.
You will need
- a baking tray
- pink card, felt tip pen and scissors
- PVA glue and brush
- googly eyes
- glitter (and sequins)
First, take your baking tray and put in a big splodge of glue in the centre. Using your brush flick out the glue to make your splat shape.
Then add the googly eyes and sequins before sprinkling on some glitter.
Next you need to make the tongue. Draw out a tongue shape on your pink card and carefully cut round it with some scissors.
Gently place the tongue into the glue mixture and leave it to dry over night.
The following day, when it's dry, carefully peel your splat bug off the baking tray, shake off any excess glitter and there you have it .... a splat bug.
You can make them in lots of colourful shapes and use them to decorate mirrors, windows, books or storage boxes. A little bit of sellotape will help to secure them in place.
If you have a go at making them, do send us your pictures and let us know how you got on. We'd love to see them.
