Craftastic Sunday!
I just picked up Rosie O'Donnell's Crafty U from the library, and I must say, it is absolutely worth paying full price for. My kids are way too into this:
... and not enough into non-brain-shrinking activities. Enter CRAFTASTIC SUNDAYS! I decided that the entire family should craft together on Sundays which kills two birds with one stone really. We have more family time and less bickering! So, this Sunday we set out to make and paint clay using Rosie's book. Here's a photo tour through the afternoon:
First, you make the clay with kitchen ingredients. We starting making simple balls which turned into jellyfish, bowls, bobby pin holders, fish, starfish, and my DH's lovely bowl of yarn made just for me. :) Then you paint:
This was truly the fun part and the kids had a lot of fun creating new colors from the three we started with. In the end, we had a tray full of lovely clay goodies, lots of laughs, and an afternoon to remember.
If you don't have the book and have kids, run out and get it. It's that good.
That evening, I finished up a little knitting project that I've been working on. Can you guess what it is?
