Holidays are over but it's still winter :) We made these fun snowflakes with Q-tips.
We cut a piece of white paper plate: hexagon or circle. We glued six Q-tips onto it, (low-temp hot-glue is easiest if you can). A button pressed into the center even helps finish it. TheSquirrel thought it was so cool she could use the Q-tips for something.


Her bedroom has a tree with removeable apples (via Velcro)... so we put Velcro on the backs of these snowflakes, to decorate her "tree" with them in the Winter. (For the Fall, we have autumn leaves to stick on there, and this Spring we'll stick blossoms on there.)

Becca helped us test art projects to use for the Art Adventure program in Riley's class while she visited this weekend. BoBo thinks the houses are so cool he has made a mini-neighborhood already. We'll have to take another photo later so you can see all the new ones. (=

(Riley did finally take a break from houses after Kindergarten this afternoon so we could make about 400 bookmarks for his school library. We had a fun time!)

2nd Annual Pumpkin Junkin'!!

These pictures are of something new we tried with the girl while camping last weekend. I try to plan entertaining activities for camping trips, so as to avoid those whiney "I'm boooooooooooooored" statements. Fortunately, this was a great trip and the lizards kept her well entertained. :) But, I knew she'd love this so I broke out the paints anyway.

I felt bad about "messing with nature" for about 2.5 seconds. She had such a great time with it, even narrating her art for the video camera at the conclusion.. that it was worth the guilt.



And, heck, it was washable paint. It'll come off in a good rain storm.



All you need is a kid, some paint, and a tree.
