Are the kids bored with their Toys? Here some fun Button activities...Just dump your button box on the kitchen table , add glue, fabric, yarn, cardstock , elastic thread and pie plate for some creative time with the kids.

Button Art: Glue buttons and bits of fabric or yarn onto card stock to create a textured portrait or landscape
Pan for Buttons: Place a pie plate on the floor near a wall, line up 10-12 feet away, and see who can pitch the most buttons off the wall into the pan.
Make button jewelry: String elastic thread through the holes of assorted flat buttons, tie it into a loop for a wrist and ankle bracelet
