We had some friends over for a morning and we made these cute can critters. I had been collecting the tins for awhile, so there was quite a nice stash. I had planned to give the children some paper and markers to decorate them, but then remembered that I had a whole container of vinyl off-cuts. I'm so glad that I did, because it was so easy and less time consuming to cut and stick the vinyl on to the cans. Even I joined in.
After the creating, we lined them all up along the wall and we had a tossing game - who could knock over the most critters. Another big hit with the kiddos, keeping them busy for quite some time.
I can highly recommend this as an activity - from start to finish they had a blast!

This is a darling idea...and when they are all done the cans can be tossed right back into the recycling. Love it!
What a super fun craft, and I think the vinyl is a great idea! My favourite is the masked super-hero doggie!!
