Crafty Days

We have been very busy with arts and crafts the past few days. The above picture is from the Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic. They made a power boat. The next one is in 2 weeks and she will make a school bus and the next one after that is 3 weeks after that and they are making a drum. They gave her a certificate & badge of completion. I made her a banner to put all her badges on. She thought it was pretty fun and it's something free that Lowe's does. Home Depot does the same type if thing, but we don't have one very close.

The kool-aid painting was something she did on Friday. We had not done it since last summer. She enjoyed all three steps involved.

This idea came from a book I checked out of the library about recycled crafts. She had a paddle that no longer had the ball attached, so it was perfect (it was what you were supposed to use) to make this hanging duck. It was pretty simple, basically just gluing with a couple of cuts. She was excited to turn her paddle into a duck.



We made clay on Friday as well. It is made with glue, flour & corn starch. I posted about it on the Green Blog. She played with it for quite a while and helped to make it, then daddy & her played with it together.
