Feelin' Crafty


bean and i have been crafty lately! ok, it isn't always fun to do crafts with a two year old. they can't do a lot of the steps and they don't always listen to what you say. so, frustration is part of the game. BUT for some reason it is only frustrating to me, bean seems to really enjoy it.

craft one: vase of flowers. empty pringles can decorated with construction paper, peel and stick wonderfoam flowers and crayons. flowers made by tracing child's hand, wraping the wrist part of the hand around a pipe cleaner and gluing (use two different colors of pipe cleaners twisted together if you want your stem and stamen different colors), and curling back the fingers. add leaves if wanted.
i think this one turned out WAY cuter than i ever thought possible!! i LOVE our vase of fake flowers!

craft two: toilet paper roll bunnies. easy peasy. paint tubes desired color. glue on ears, faces, tails... whatever deco you want. daddy thinks that we made too many. he claims it looks like a small easter army is occupying our family room! what a goof!

bean is ready to start another project. she wants to make ducks, hmmmm. i'll let you know how it goes. ;)

AW that's cute! :) You're more daring than I. We do crafts, every so often, but Adam just has no patience. Maybe it's the boy in him?
