I Spy
here is a version of I spy that every child at any age should enjoy. Make a I Spy bottle.
This is what you will need:
An empty plastic bottle
A bunch of little items, like a candle, paper clip, beads, hair clip, button etc. (anything that will fit into your bottle)
Rice, sand or colored sprinkles
Tape
1 piece of paper
Funnel
-Make a list of your items
-Add your items to the bottle and then the rice, using a funnel. Leave some space at the top so the rice has room to move around when looking for the hidden items.
-Tape the lid on tightly.
-On the bottle, tape a list of the items to be found in the bottle. Have the kids scratch off everything they “spy” in the bottle. .
This would work with the tiny animals they sell at the dollar store, then you can draw a picture of the animals on the list so kids who cannot read yet can play!

I’ve seen similar for those who are crafty making small pillows, cutting a hole in the side, replacing the hole with a piece of clear plastic, and turning it into a ISpy pillow. Very cute.

I made an I Spy bottle for my youngest child almost two years ago and he still loves playing with it.
I’ve also seen people use those pencil pouches with the clear front and then sew it shut after you have everything in there. I haven’t made one yet but I have to stuff to. Just need to get motivated.
