Craftin' Kids

In an attempt to keep my kids busy this summer we have been up to our eyeballs in glue, markers, paints... you name it. Carter has really taken to crafts and drawing this summer and a pad of paper and some markers can keep him busy for 2 hours at a time (it's so nice!!). So here are a few of our recent projects:

Crazy Man with his toilet paper roll super heroes (forgive the half dressed boy, we were on our way to the pool yesterday):

Up close and personal:Yesterday we made Halloween gingerbread houses with some friends. Look how cute it turned out!! (Kits can be purchased for $6 at Joann's if you have a coupon. The cans were to hold up the roof while the frosting was drying)Queen Orange Frosting:Carter with his Paper Maiche volcano we made last week. He had a ball with this and especially loved when we exploded the volcano. I see another, bigger one in our near future (it got ruined fast with the baking soda/vinegar explosion).
