It’s Rhyme Time!

This week we are doing activities and crafts around the rhyme ‘I’m a Little Teapot’. We love this rhyme, and usually sings it too, so it was the perfect for us to make these super special teapot fingerprint magnets, and it is just in time for Mother’s Day too!

We made these from salt dough, and painted it with nail polish. You see, we were on vacation, and did not take much crafting supplies with us, so we had to make do with what we had. Nevertheless, it came out so pretty.

salt dough ingredients
Ingredients for the salt dough:

Equal parts salt and flour(we used about one of each and had left overs)

Half water(we used around half a cup)

(You could skip painting the end product by coloring the dough with food coloring now.)

mixing Let the kids mix it up until it is a firm dough like playdough.

We used a wooden teapot template to cut around(mommy did this part).

fingerprinting

Then came the fingerprinted flowers.

initial & date
I added their initials(using a toothpick) and the year too. A lovely keepsake for mom!

attached magnet
A strong magnet was attached at the back. (It must be strong, because the salt dough is quite heavy.)

painting

My almost 5 year old painted her teapot in her own special way, and mommy painted brothers. All the while singing ‘I’m a little teapot, short and stout, this is my handle, this is my spout..’
