Nap Time Journal: Play Spice Containers for the kids

Play Spice Containers for the kids

I took a package of wooden spools and made them into spice containers

for the PLAY KITCHEN I just made for our kids.

I glued a wooden circle to the top of the spool to hide the whole, painted each spool in a different color, let them dry then glued a button to the top. I then used a sharpie to write the names of different spices.

This is were I got the idea to use wooden spools.
