More Crafts!

Even though Christopher has been sick all week, we have been crafting, since March is National Craft Month! We hope you all have been crafting too!!

Here is a picture of a Family Picture Frame Christopher made for a Tiger Cub Scout Elective. The cub scouters made these frames with Shaun on Tuesday night. Christopher made this one as an example since he wasn't feeling well this week. The picture frame is made of jumbo popcicle sticks and he decorated it with rub on stickers. (Some kids used foam stickers to decorate it too.) We attached a thin manly ribbon so the boys could hang it in their room. We also gave an option of putting magnets on it, so the kids could hang it on their refrigerators for everyone to see!

Anneli was busy this week making pretty decorated Glass Magnets. We used a variety of pretty scrapbook paper, flat clear glass marbles, (You know the kid you put on the bottom of flower arrangements.) glue and magnets. She did a great job tracing the flat marbles and cutting out the circles and gluing them on the flat side of the marble. Then she was so excited to add the magnet and stick them to the refrigerator! We don't want to ruin any surprises, since she wants to give them out as gifts, but here's a picture of one of her pretty magnets!

I love to do crafts with Christopher and Anneli! It gives us a chance to spend quality time together, help their development and to let their creative juices flow! Stay tuned to see what we'll make next...
