If it is a girl you should make bracelets from beads or you could make Thread Spool Dolls
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Plastic thread spool
Yarn
Pipe cleaners
Buttons
Glue
Time needed: Under 1 Hour 1. Peel away the labels from the top and bottom of a plastic thread spool.
2. Cut yarn into 2 dozen 6-inch lengths and divide them into four groups of six. Sandwich each group in a pipe cleaner bent in half. Then fit each set of the pipe cleaner ends into a separate hole in the center of the spool, pulling the ends through just far enough to secure the yarn in place.
3. When all of the yarn hair is attached, trim 4 of the pipe cleaner ends protruding from the bottom of the spool so that they are flush with the plastic (a parent's job). Pose the remaining 4 ends to resemble arms and legs.
4. Glue button eyes and a nose to the thread-covered spool for a face.
if its a boy you could reverse stencils.
MATERIALS
Plastic bag
Cardboard cut to fit between the front and back of the shirt
Light-colored pre-washedd cotton T-shirt
Newspaper
Pencil
Con-Tact paper
Scissors
Spray bottle
Warm water
Fabric paint
Instructions
Wrap the plastic bag around the cardboard and slip it inside the shirt and then lay the shirt face up on the newspaper. Have your child draw various shapes, such as the shark, swirl, zigzag, or flower shown here, on the Con-Tact paper. Cut out the shapes and stick them onto the shirt so that they are firmly attached.
In the spray bottle, mix three parts fabric paint to two parts warm water and shake. Now your child can spray the paint onto the fabric all around the cutouts. Advise him that a light spray will produce a striking bubbly effect and is less likely to seep under the stencil. (Another option is to press paint-coated sponges onto the fabric.)
Once the paint dries, remove the Con-Tact paper and the cardboard, then heat-set the design and launder the shirt according to the paint manufacturer's directions.
