String Baskets - Kid Craft that's slightly more Easter oriented than I intended

Ever since I saw this idea here I thought my kids would have fun with this one. Until I remembered that Yaya hates messy fingers.

Start with a crap ton of YARN. This totally looks like a poster for something. YARN POWER! Snip off some strands in various colors about equal in length. They definitely don't have to be perfect, but good enough.

We always seem to have red plastic cups around. Because we have weekly frat parties, now you know. Next week: leftover keg crafting for kids. Cover a few cups in plastic wrap. Have your Mod Podge ready because you're going to need a ton of it.

I poured some Mod Podge out on some disposable plates and then we all sat together in our pajamas and dipped the strings in the Podge and lay them on the plastic wrap covered cups.

Demon also hated the Mod Podge on his hands, but he got over it.

We let these dry for about 48 hours. I'm thinking I need to take the cups and plastic off sooner next time and let these dry without the mold a bit longer, because I managed to get the cup out but not the plastic wrap. Is it noticeable? I think it looks fine, but now I know for next time!

A perfect place for our "cactigai", as we like to call them around these parts.
