Hot Town Summer in the City!

A few years ago I stumbled upon the website kizclub.com. On the website they have a ton of activities, crafts, games, and lessons and best of all it is completely and totally free. Music to my ears and bank account! The crafts are some of my favorite and are easy to use since the blackline masters are always provided. One of my favorite crafts for the summer is the Fancy Sunglasses. The website offers a color pattern and a black and white pattern. I recommend printing the pattern on cardstock since that helps with the durability of the glasses. The website recommends you then use colored cellophane or plastic wrap for the lenses of the glasses. I use both hot glue and white glue and both seem to work well to attach the cellophane to the glasses but you want to make sure to be careful with the white glue as it can smear.

The kids love to wear the sunglasses outside and will actually last for a while since they are almost unbreakable! Every year I take a class picture of us in our shades – me and my stylin’ group of students. J
