Sticking with our "shaving" theme this week we came up with an interesting idea for today.
Don't just throw away those pencil shavings, they can become a great staple in everyone's craft supply bin. Here are just a few of the ways they could be used.
Collages- Take any type of pencil shaving (colored, designed, or plain yellow) and use them for a collage. Put down the glue any way you like and sprinkle the shavings over it (kinda like glitter).
Flowers- Did you ever notice how the wider pencil shavings tend to curl up when you sharpen the pencils? Take those and make them into flowers for your kids art projects.
People- Do your kids like making pictures of people? If so skinny pencil shavings work really well for hair or clothing for their people.
Pretend Play- If your kiddos like playing with small plastic animals (like Breyer horses) the pencil shavings would make great bedding for in the stalls.
What other uses can you think of?
