Fall Craft

21/Sept/2013 – Fall Craft

Tomorrow is the first day of Fall (I think….so my mother says, anyhow.) We decided on a little fun craft this evening which involved shaving cream, paint, a squeegee, and pre-cut shapes of leaves out of card stock. We made some really cute leaves to decorate the house with. Daddy had the honors of filling the tin pan with shaving cream and I swirled around the paint. We got the kids to each take a turn pressing the card stock into the paint and shaving cream and then I used a squeegee to take off the excess. Max slowly got into it with some convincing that his hands could be washed, Miley took her time and freaked out at every little mess at first, and Belle was just all around having nothing to do with it. Finally Miley got in there and did a few leaves of her own. Daddy decided to have a little more fun and put Max’s hands right into a tin of shaving cream that didn’t have any paint in it and had Logan in hysterical laughter. Miley and Belle were just upset and grossed out.

I decided to have a little fun of my own:

Overall craft experience: we’ll give it a win since the kids warmed up and got into it (except for Belle)

End result: definitely a win. The leaves are super cute and make a nice colorful decoration.
