\nWe tackled another alphabet craft this weekend to help
\nreinforce the letter which my Junior Infant son has been learning at
\nschool.  <\/span>Last week he was working on I,
\nso he decided that he wanted us to create some igloo\u2019s to put up on his bedroom
\nletter gallery. We love to use bubble-wrap to paint and print with and I
\nthought that this would work really well to create an igloo. We decided to add
\nin some cotton wool ice-bergs as well for good measure.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHere\u2019s what we did:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Added
    \n a dash of water to a squidge of blue paint and brushed this over a large
    \n piece of thin white card and left it to dry.<\/li>\n
  2. Cut
    \n out a large oval shape from a piece of bubble-wrap.<\/li>\n
  3. Painted
    \n over the bubbly side of the bubble-wrap with white paint.<\/p>\n
    \n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Stamped
    \n this down onto our blue background. <\/p>\n
    \n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. Lifted
    \n off the bubble-wrap to reveal our igloo. Be careful not to smudge the
    \n bubble-wrap or the effect won\u2019t be as good.<\/li>\n
  6. Glued
    \n on cotton wool balls to create an iceberg.<\/p>\n
    \n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n The other letters which we have worked on already include S is for Spider<\/a> and T is for Tree<\/a> <\/div>\n
