Supplies
Paper tube (1 each)
Foam stickers, themed (optional)
Markers
Glitter crayons
Extra glue (I used hot glue)
Tissue squares
Plastic disposable shot glass
Beads/jewels (optional)
Let child decorate tube as desired with supplies. Have them pick out tissue squares and line the disposable shot glass with the squares with an 'x' of glue on the square adhering it to the sides of glass (or use paint brush and glue). Once entire glass is covered, have them pick one foam sticker or jewel and glue in the inside center of glass. This will be the item they "spy", themed to your liking. Next use glue on inner rim of glass to adhere it to the end of the paper tube. Let dry. When peering it should appear as a kaleidiscope with multiple colors (the stained glass look) with the treasure at the center!
This is a really durable adaptation done with hot glue. Other versions use paper at the tip secured with a band. The paper rips easy, even if using suran wrap, and the band unrolls often. I modified this and we played with it all day and there were 0 tears :-). Goodluck!
