Making I Spy Games - Part 1

I saw this craft idea here - http://blissfullydomestic.com/blissful-kids/i-spy-bottles/

I found other examples here - http://jojoebi.blogspot.com/2008/07/eye-spy-bottle-and-slime.html

Then I found a commercial quality one in a catalogue, but I cannot find it again. It was selling for around $27.95 ... something odd like that.

Looked cool to me! And something I could do for Christmas presents!






We couldn't get to our sand - so with inspiration - I had the girls sticking the stickers to toilet paper (clean of course) to remove the stickiness. This worked very well.

We lined up cups and labeled them with the names of every single one of the kids we planned to make an I Spy bottle for at this time.
If all goes well - we have more planned for later.

I had a great time going through the jar of confetti that I've collected over the years. I've got some really cool sets. And I'm always asking at parties if we can pick up the confetti and take it home - people must think I'm totally WEIRD.

We also went through our aquarium decoration rocks, beads, and foamies - and ended up with 10 jars of nice things.

We made my sister's boys 3 nearly identicle so she can use them as a game to have them race to see who can find theirs first.
Others, like Joel, we tried to put a lot of a favorite color (yellow) or like Bethie, a favorite object (fish).

More on this project later - I seem to only be able to load 4 pictures at a time on dial-up.
