We had a lot of fun making these sea creature paper plates today. My MIL managed to find these adorable paper plate crafts somewhere (as you have probably noticed, she has found a lot, and we love them all!) and they are ideal for the girls. We started out making the octopi, it was a little complicated, just because of the number of pieces, 8 strands of tentacles, eyes (three pieces total), then all the "spots" on the faces, the mouths, then the crown ,and the 3 jewels, there was just a lot to put on, but they both did great! I especially loved Iris', it was so incredibly detailed, and she was so thoughtful about how she put it together. :)
After that, Iris wanted to make a Crab like I had made which was MUCH easier. A little glue, 6 legs, 2 eyes, and the 2 black dots for the eyes and the mouth were sticky backed. (i love that her crab has its arms raised, such a cute little touch :) )
Mike made the shark, quite possibly the CUTEST, happiest shark ever!
As promised, we are home now, so here are the pictures of the crafts from the weekend, starting with our twig ribbons and ending with the Planter Pots.
(something is up with the coloring on these pictures because they are REALLY green)
