Party Food – Unicorn Pudding Cups

by

 

Nothing I like better than stumbling upon a unicorn craft with a very affordable supplies list! You can pick up all the supplies (listed below) for these beyond fabulous Unicorn Pudding Cups at your local Dollar Tree! That’s right, everything on this list can be purchased for a dollar a piece! Perfect for birthdays, holidays or just a rainy day craft to keep the kids occupied! Who doesn’t love unicorns? Perfect addition to a Unicorn Party.

Supplies

•Pudding Cups

•Black Sharpie

•Package of Paper Flowers (you can use any flowers you choose. We went with paper since this is a Dollar Tree craft)

•Rhinestones

•Metallic Birthday Hats

•Scissors

•Glue

Step by Step

    1. Take your metallic birthday hats out of the packaging. Then carefully cut the hats in half. You can use any color metallic birthday hats you choose to create your metallic unicorn horns, but we decided to stick with traditional gold and silver. 
    2. Take your metallic birthday hats and wrap around your pinky really tight to create a unicorn horn. When you get your hat to resemble a thin unicorn horn, glue the edge together with your glue.
    3. Once your unicorn horns have dried, glue your horn on the bottom of your pudding cup. Then stick/glue your flowers onto the pudding cup.
    4. After your unicorn horn and flowers have dried, draw your unicorn eyes and eyelashes on your pudding cup. I suggest practising on a blank piece of paper to perfect your technique before drawing on the actual Unicorn Pudding Cups since Sharpies are permanent. You only get one shot!
    5. Next, glue the rhinestones onto the edge of your Unicorn Pudding Cups to glam your pudding cups up!
    Your Unicorn Pudding Cups are now complete! Be ready to wow anyone you serve! No one would ever expect something so fabulous to come from the Dollar Tree!

Shark Week Learning for Kids

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks. 

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game. 

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom. 

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more. 

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet. 

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
