A craft a day (well, kind of)

Thanksgiving week.  Thought that we would do a craft a day and make that be our school week.  Here is what it ended up REALLY looking like!

Monday we finished the cork boats that we started 2 weeks ago.  They turned out cute and a lot of fun to play with in the creek at the park near our house.  Unfortunately though there was not very much water so they kept running aground!!

 Here is our fleet - ready for action!

Found out almost immediately that I needed to make the string twice as long

Tuesday Ellie and I modge-podged her oatmeal box so it can stylishly hold all of her headbands!  She had some favorite pictures from advertisements that she had been saving that she got to glue on to the box.  My favorite was the little Santa Claus that she said was a "running snowman".  So cute!

Wednesday we took a trip to the Library to sail our boat again ... the kids made some friends and shared their boats with them.  It was a lot of fun!  We also  began the "changing faces toilet roll dolls", unfortunately we did not finish them up until Sunday.  I was sick Thurs and still feeling a little under the weather on Friday.  By Saturday I felt better but not good enough to draw the toilet roll dolls ... okay, that is a bit of an excuse for my lack of artistic ability!  On Sunday Chris was around and able to help draw on the rolls ... I am just not artistically inclined ... at least not with a paper and pen!!
