Crafty Tuesday

last week was mardi gras so of course we made masks! with a mask pattern, some traced hands, assorted buttons, gems, feathers and some streamers you can be ready to go on fat tuesday!! :)


i guess i should say bean made a mask. she is the crafty soul. sprout was not interested in such a project. he did express his creativity by pouring an entire bag of buttons all over the table and floor though. ;)

you see, sprout isn't one for crayons and coloring. markers... well, he does naughty things with those. (like writing on walls and himself and well, you get the idea.) he always tries to eat stamps and ink pads. crafts don't do anything for this kid UNLESS there is paint involved. the boy LOVES to paint. though i'm not sure he understands that it is supposed to go on the paper...

yes, it is all around his mouth because he always seems to have to taste it too. if he would have stuck his tongue out you would have been able to see that it had a stripe of blue too. really.

i think you can see why he paints in just a diaper, can't you??

he is just a little paint monster and it is a TON of fun!


...maybe next week i'll be crafty instead of the kids! ;)

That Bean sure is a great little crafter! And Sprout, well he's got a style all his own. ;o) Actually, N's style wasn't too different from that until pretty recently! Good thing they are cute, huh? ;)

Too cute. It was actually my husband who first broke out some canvases for our son when he was younger. We've gotten some really neat stuff from him. It hangs in our house and Daddy's office and Grandma's kitchen.

Why don't I ever think of these craft projects until AFTER the holiday? And what is it, is it just their age? You described Raya's "craftiness" to a t. :)

Precious! Love that paint chompin' boy...and doesn't he look like a BOY nowadays???? At least you can get him to paint. The BA is a non-crafty type, much to her mother's chagrin :-(
