Wine corks are a great material for simple and quick crafting, but have you ever used them for storytelling? Here's an idea for combining wine corks and nursery rhymes. The possibilities are limitless.
–
Nursery Rhyme Crafts: All you need are some wine corks, paint and some craft foam
Just paint the wine corks with base coats – if you use acrylic paints just one coat will do.
–
Then, with a black sharpie marker, draw on the little owl and pussycat details…. don’t forget the eyelashes!! Very important in this house!!
–
For the pea green boat just cut the simple shapes for the base and sides out of green craft foam. Glue together with a glue gun for instant results, or you can even use glue dots!

Then its time to hit the high seas….
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
‘O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!’
The pussycat does look quite pleased with himself!!
It’s time to get your crafty pants on…..
