Make this Craft and we will send you some free stickers!	Blooming Necklace Materials Needed: Clear Film Container, Cotton Balls, Yarn, Flower or Vegetable Seeds, Screw Eye Hook Instructions: This works great with the clear containers. Put two-four cotton balls into the container. Tuck in about a few seeds between the cotton balls and the outside of the container, so that you can see them. Large seeds work best. Peas, Cantaloupe, etc. Add a few drops of water, just until cotton balls are damp, but not soaked and not enough to puddle water on bottom of container. Use a screw-eye with a medium size eye on it and screw it through the center of the lid. Put the lid on the container tightly. Braid three pieces of yarn long enough to go around the child's neck and slip over the head. Thread yarn through the screw eye and tie in a circle. Kids like to wear these necklaces and watch the seeds sprout and grow inside the container. If you time this right, you can plant them into starter pots when they get too big for the container, or outside into the garden

	Egyptian Falcon Amulet Craft for Kids What you will need: Heavy card stock (yellow or gold color works best), scissors, yarn, gold paint (DecoArt Patio Paint worked great) Tulip Pearl Dimensional Fabric Paint or something similar, glitter 3D paint. What to do: Print out the pattern onto card stock. Paint the pattern all over with the gold patio paint or similar paint. Don’t paint it on too thick. You want to be able to see the lines. When the paint dries use the dimensional paint to give the amulet a 3D look. Outline the pattern and go over all the lines. Fill in the belly of the falcon with dots. Use other colors of 3D paint to paint the eyes and make dots to look like gems. When the falcon and smaller piece (counterpoise) are dry cut them out. Punch holes in the wings of the falcon at the top and one in the smaller piece. Tie yarn as shown. The smaller piece hangs down your back
