These were fun and easy too make. The kids like playing with them. They are soft and kids won't get hurt.

Approximate Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

• 3 sponges per ball (coloured ones)
• wool or dental floss
• scissors

2. Arrange all the pieces in your hand be sure to mix up the colours.

Craft: Sponge Mobile or Centerpiece

It's amazing what a little creativity and imagination can do with some very simple items. The sponge mobile is a fun project for a rainy afternoon with kids. Depending on how it's hung or stood, the dancing butterflies, hearts, and stars can play above a cradle or stand in the middle of a kid's birthday party table.

Try this different style of painting with your child. I'm sure they will have fun with it, and you just might get into it yourself!
