creative hours with kids

I am trying to find ways to keep my children away from tv. So beside the games, we  have an hour that we make crafts or painting,  together. I wanted to share with you this craft that we really enjoyed.
                             FRAMES  with PLASTECINE

we need

Clear plastic CD case
• plasticine in various colours
•  cord, yarn or raffia, for hanging loop
• Tools, such as a fork, pencil,  knife for making grooves, dots and other impressions on the clay

Easy steps:

and the results

  they loved them so much that they wanted to hang them right away....
