Getting our Craft on....

I planned some crafts for the girls this week.  They were so easy and UN-complicated, and the girls had so much fun doing them.  I love doing crafts with my girlies! 

We LOVE dollar items at Michaels!  The girls had

so much fun painting their bird houses. 

Hailey is getting to be such a good little painter.

She puts so much thought into what color goes where.

After painting them, Hailey went and hung them in

the lemon tree.  I told her the little hole was probably too

small for a bird to get into, but she did not let that deter her.

This craft was a bust!  It was supposed to be bouncing bubbles

that you could bounce on your hand without popping.  Even

though it didn't quite work out, they still had fun making it.

Hailey stirring the mixture for Borax snowflakes, a Pinterest

idea.  Not much to it, just mixing a solution and waiting

for about a day for the crystals to form. 

Addy giving hers a stir.  This girl

LOVES to stir & mix!

Dropping our pipe cleaner it.  We could not form a 

snowflake shape, so we went with a simple heart.

Waiting....and waiting.....and waiting.

Tada.....this is what they looked like in the morning.

The girls were VERY excited!

Pretty cool!

Our next craft was another easy one, lemon

scented play dough.  My girls NEVER tire

of playing with this stuff, I just hate the mess

it leaves when there are dried up play dough

crumbs all over the house.  But....it's worth

it for the fun they have!

Hailey made a bake shop, with cookies, cakes and candies.

The girls making giant bubble solution.  We might not have let

it sit long enough, because the giant bubbles were not forming.

We were able to make lots of smaller bubbles though, and I 

think they had just as much fun, especially because John

and Reagan were over to play!

Little helper Addy.

Time for the soap.
