It has been a struggle to get K to enjoy reading - or to even make it through a sentence without huffing and puffing... so when she brought over a library book the other weekend we took time to read it together. In the book, the character had made a mask using a paper plate and a wooden stick... K suggested we do the same thing!
So in the spirit of encouragement and learning, we set out on a crafting adventure! We used paper plates and kabab skewers (with the sharp part cut off and taped over), markers, glitter, tape, and ribbon.
Here we are at the table, coloring our 'faces' :)
B was determined to make his look very boyish - so he colored all blue and used blue ribbon for the bow tie.
M showing her progress:
Tada!! The unveil! Note, the girls pretty bows in their hair and B has a manly bow tie (that turned out quite well I think!
Poor doggie - her spot by the door has been invaded by masked intruders!Note - B thinks it's much more fun to hold his mask up with his bottom lip rather than the stick we taped to the back. Can we say rebel without a cause?
It was great fun and makes me want to go look for children's books that have more crafting ideas!! :)
