CJ is a beginning reader and to encourage her reading skills I made an I-Spy window from pasta box. I came across this ingenious idea of making I spy window @ Activity mom blog
I minimized the cellophane window size with scrapbook paper so that CJ can concentrate on small words and single lines.
All you need is a Pasta box with cellophane window, Popsicle stick, Glue stick, Scrap book paper
Steps overview:
- Remove the sealing edges of the pasta box
- Flatten the box
- Cut out a rectangular piece from the front of the pasta box
- Glue scrap book paper and minimize the cellophane window. I covered both the front and back side with scrap book paper. So that it can be used as either left hand or right hand window
- Glue on a Popsicle stick to the window.
Oooh what a clever reading aid! Very good idea!! Love it!

ReplyDeleteThats a clever idea! Thanks for sharing... We might need to make one soon :)
ReplyDeleteI like your i-spy idea. I bet it'd be fun to zoom in on the illustrations through the peep hole too - you might notice some new details.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you at the Play Academy as always.
Yeah cathy, it was fun! Cj was just peeping through the hole and saying I spy you mommy.
