Banana Craft That Is Even Banana Scented and The Kid’s Co-op
We love torn paper and scissor skills crafts at my house. With a toddler and preschooler it is great to let one tear paper and one cut paper. We haven’t done one in a while so it was time. With a banana theme this week, we did a banana torn paper craft. To make it a little more exciting we scented the paper to smell like a real banana. We are big Curious George fans so I thought it would be fun to have a banana inspired craft to do with the kids.
What we used
white cardstock
yellow cardstock
marker
banana extract
glue
scissors for kids if cutting up paper
What we did
I had my husband draw a banana in a hurry on his way out the door for me on the white paper. I gave my son the yellow paper to tear because I couldn’t find his scissors this morning. My mom was visiting and helped him tear the paper. I took a little banana extract and put it on a napkin and rubbed it into the white paper with the banana drawn on it. Last my son glued on the yellow torn paper. Now we have a fun banana scented banana craft.
My son was tickled that his craft actually smelled like a banana. We hung it up on the wall and watched Curious George that afternoon.
Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

My kids love these torn paper crafts. I love that you scented the paper. I never would have thought of that, but that would make the activity a bit more exciting. Thanks for the tip!
