Totem Poppets Make Great Kids Crafts...

It's cold and snowy here and we haven't been able to get out much. My son is too young to ski or spend a lot of time out in the snow and the cold, so we have been doing a lot of crafts. Our Totem Poppets make great educational and easy crafts for kids. Here is Elon with the Totem Owl as a shadow puppet.     The starfish worked well as he really enjoyed moving each of the joints. And it doen't matter with way you put it together. Here is Elon very carefully painting a canvas with mat medium for me! LOL. We added the Totem Poppet Swans to this one to make Grandma a nice birthday present. He also really enjoyed making a snake and a lizard. We painted the lizard white with gesso and then let he colored on him with pens and added the googlie eyes. Elon popped the Totem Snake parts out for me. Then he helps me assemble the Totem Snake with minibrads. Here is the finished Totem Snake. The Totem Poppet animals - such as the Totem Seals, Totem Starfish, Totem Turtle and Totem Snake - (the designs with lesser number of joints) make great kids craft projects. They are both fun, easy and educational!
