I have been trying to break in all of our new craft supplies that I got this week- I don't think I told you all this, but I got a gift certificate to Fat Brain Toys, and I stocked up on craft supplies and musical instruments for the kids. We got a big coloring book, new construction paper, new paint brushes, watercolors, finger paint paper, doodle paper, and maybe one or two other things, as well as some bells, and other musical instruments. Needless to say, we have been having a lot of fun this week!
Today, my handy paper cutter was the perfect tool for the job. All i did was slice a 4" piece of construction paper to wrap around the tubes, then four 2" pieces for the wings. Then we used the super tiny (1/8" i think?) hole punch that I have, to make a spot for the antennas, and used a glue stick to stick everything together. We fed half of a pipe cleaner into each of the punched holes, wrapped the tops around our fingers and then made faces on them. Penny wanted nothing to do with craft until I had my butterfly done, at which point she decided it was HER butterfly lol. Iris did all of hers herself, with the exception of wrapping the paper around the body. I was really proud of her artistic license with this craft. And I am SO proud of her artistic ability today!
I threw in a picture that Iris drew today of a Crocodile wearing a hat. I don't know that I could have drawn a crocodile that well!!! I have some budding artists on my hands :)
