Photo Fun – Toddler Shaker Toys

One of the best things about taking photos is sharing them! This past week, we celebrated the 1st birthday of one of our favorite people. I had a lot of fun making her presents using photos of her and her family.


Materials:

*vitamin or medicine bottles with safety caps

*photos of your favorite toddler or the toddler’s favorite people

*clear packing tape

*dry beans

Directions:

Remove the labels from one or more vitamin or medicine bottles. Make sure to use the kind with safety lids. Print a panoramic photo or collage of photos. (I did one of each.) Cut your photos to the right size for your bottle. Cut enough packing tape to wrap completely around your bottle. Center your photo on the packing tape, making sure to leave a border of tape around the edge so that the picture will be sealed. This will protect against drool damage. I had to use two strips of packing tape because it wasn’t quite wide enough to cover the photos.  Put 10-15 dry beans in the bottle and seal. That’s it! Now you have a great personalized shaker toy that even the adults will love.

I’ll post the other projects soon!
