Banana Craft That Is Even Banana Scented and The Kid's Co-op

We love torn paper and scissor skills crafts at my house.  With a toddler and preschooler it is great to let one tear paper and one cut paper.  We haven't done one in a while so it was time.  With a banana theme this week, we did a banana torn paper craft.  To make it a little more exciting we scented the paper to smell like a real banana. We are big Curious George fans so I thought it would be fun to have a banana inspired craft to do with the kids. 

What we used

white cardstock

yellow cardstock

marker

banana extract

glue

scissors for kids if cutting up paper

What we did

I had my husband draw a banana in a hurry on his way out the door for me on the white paper.  I gave my son the yellow paper to tear because I couldn't find his scissors this morning.  My mom was visiting and helped him tear the paper.  I took a little banana extract and put it on a napkin and rubbed it into the white paper with the banana drawn on it.  Last my son glued on the yellow torn paper.  Now we have a fun banana scented banana craft.

My son was tickled that his craft actually smelled like a banana.  We hung it up on the wall and watched Curious George that afternoon. 

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.
