You can't have a
Despicable Me 2 week of fun without honoring...
...the original little yellow "men."
So,
we had a few activities
that I hope showed the Minions some love...
********************************
First up,
we used the fingers from some
yellow rubber gloves
and permanent markers...
...to craft up...
...to Minion Finger Puppets.
They are so very fun...
*****************************************
Another afternoon,
the kiddos and I played...
...Pin the Eyes (or Eye) on the Minion.
Using poster board and markers,
I drew a Minion body
for the kiddos to put
THESE laminated goggle eyes on...
...while MOST of them were blindfolded, of course!
It's always good to have a good helper
during clean up...

****************************************
Finally,
and perhaps most importantly,
I put together...
...a Despicable Me Explorer Box.
This has been our most played with box
BY FAR.
I think it is because of the...
...colored rice.
(I used THIS tutorial to color the rice.)
Along with the rice,
I put in a set of characters from the movie:
I also cut out and laminated
the back of the box the figures came in
and included it the box,
so we would know all the minions names.
In another box,
I put several spoons, bowls, sifters, etc.
to use with the rice.
Let me just caution you:
If you are a Mommy who can't take a mess,
don't make rice for your kiddos to play with.
It doesn't bother me-
in fact,
since the kiddos played with the box almost daily...
...I have vacuumed/swept almost daily.
This is the cleanest my floors have been in a LONG time! ;0)

I have a couple more items
from Despicable Me 2 Week
to share with y'all,
so make sure to come back tomorrow!
