So you know by know that I LOVE playing "I Spy" games with my kids. They are a great opportunity to learn and practice concepts. Little kids learn new things quickly or may even learn them very easily, but they forget just as easily and quickly! So it is very important for early education to be repetitive but with a new twist or theme each time to keep it interesting. So we have been focusing on learning vocabulary words using our sense of sight and hearing. We use the "I Spy" lenses to look for things called out and our sense of hearing to hear the words and associated sounds. Here is how we made our "I Spy" lenses:
We colored a 8" by 11" paper.

Collected a paper towel cardboard tube and cut in the middle to make two small tubes.

Rolled the half paper around each tune and secured with a piece of tape.

Taped the two small tubes by placing them together like binoculars.

Secured a detachable keychain (optional) to wear around the neck. Viola! Our "I Spy" lenses are ready.
