Tuesday, January 29, 2008 Handicrafts for the kids
I was so thrilled to find this wonderful CM blog full of handicraft ideas and kits that I had to order a couple for the twins and I was not disappointed.
Alissa and Thomas each made their own fleece hats with the materials provided in the "winter themed kit" and had a blast. They did sewing and cutting themselves and it only took an afternoon to make them. We are also working on the weather lapbook that was included and considering it's our first lapbook experience it is going very well.
Here are the kids modeling their new winter hats. Emily & Wesley simply had to be in the picture too:)
