Kids Craft Ideas Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday of October. It is named for the Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus, who is credited with discovering the New World. Like most other holidays, people enjoy creating crafts to celebrate. The following are some fun and creative ideas for Columbus Day crafts. Shadow Box A shadow box is like a three dimensional scrapbook page. For this project, you will need a shoebox. The bottom of the shoebox will be the setting for your scene (the bottom will be stood upright, your scene stretching across the width of the box. The lid will be placed underneath to help stand it up). Following are suggestions for making your scene. Inside your shoebox, create a scene of waves and sky (to represent the Atlantic Ocean). This can be done with paint, construction paper or card stock. Then make three origami sailboats: the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria (instructions on how to make the boats can be found at http://www.ehow.com/how_5575_make-origami-sailboat.html). | |
