Fabric Fun!

Friday morning the kids and I went to Joann's Fabric to pick up some paint pens.  While we were there I let the two older ones choose a little fabric to make something with.  Parker chose a fun pink and Hudson chose a football.....no surprise with either of their choices.

After naps/rest time we got to work on our projects.

Parker wanted to make a blanket and a pillow for her animals and babies

Hudson wanted to make bean bags.  Here are 2 of them, we still have several more to make.

The kids had a blast!  I have to be honest, it was a little difficult with Elijah wanting to play with the sewing machine but this is something we will just have to work through.

Snow Flake Craft

We had a blast with this snow flake activity!

Materials:
pipe cleaners
string
pencil
mason jar (ours was a large one)
hot water
2/3 cup borax (1/3 for a small mason jar)

Directions:
Take the pipe cleaner and mold in to desired shape. Tie string to pipe cleaner and to the pencil to suspend in the mason jar. Fill mason jar with hot water, add the borax, stir until well blended. Add your pipe cleaner and let it sit over night. In the morning the pipe cleaners will be covered in crystals!




We will definitely be doing this again!
