Craft: Clown Shoes
Two shoe boxes per child w/ lid

Cut a small hole into both shoe box lids. This hole needs to be big enough for
your child’s foot to slide in but not to big that they will step out of the lid.
Next tape (and/or hot glue) the lid to the bottom of the box. Once this is done
let your child decorate the box with paint, markers, and stickers of their
choice. Once dry have your child slide their foot into the shoe and act like a
clown.

Cut out two triangles with the top points meeting in the middle to create a bow

your child decorate the tie and use a large paper clip to clip it to their
shirt.

Scissors
Hole Punch Holes
Glue in a bowl or small lid
Toothpicks
Pompom
**Bingo Markers
Cut a tall triangle out of your construction paper. Round off the bottom of the
triangle to make it look like a clown hat. Next offer the pre punched holes,
toothpicks and glue to your child to decorate their hat. Use the toothpick to
place the glue onto the hat. Glue on a pompom on the top of the triangle for a
finishing touch.
**Option** If your child is to young to do this you can get the same look but a
little larger dots by letting your child use bingo markers. **
