Autumn craft

I did this craft last night with my kids for FHE and it turned out really cute : )  They actually did most of the work themselves, I just traced the circles they needed to cut out and they did all the cutting (not Gage of course, he just did his own thing).

Here is the link if you want to see how to do it.

Summer Camp Activities

I am part of neighborhood summer camp group that Mason attends. It's great, I just teach 4 times and he gets to go all summer, 2x a week. Any way, I though I would post some of the crafts that I do in case you might want to do them with your kids : ) Yesterday we did dinosaurs, so I printed out a dinosaur skeleton, pasted it on to a section of poster board and the kids glued pasta on top. This is Mason's that he made.

We used rigatoni for the big bones, fettuccine for the ribs, elbow macaroni for the spine, and a large shell (for the skull). Mason decided to use rigatoni for his spine.  Dinosaur skeleton

I also did a lesson on frogs and we played frog bingo. If you want to play too, you can print out these boards and let you kids color their own. There are 5 separate boards, so make sure to print out a different one for each child, otherwise everyone gets the same bingos.  Frog bingo boards

Ruler Height Board

So, for those who have received the vinyl for the height boards (Deon, yours is on coming) here is what I envisioned. But you can do it however you want. I changed the font for my name because the other one seemed too small, so if you want new font for your name let me know and I will send it to you.

I promised myself that if I was spending time on Pintrest, I had to finish at least one thing a week that I pinned. So this is one of my projects. I have also made multiple meals from pintrest too. Also, I cleaned my stove pans with a tip I learned there. Do I sound like I am trying to justify spending so much time on Pintrest, cause I am. :) Sorry these pictures aren't the best. Which brings me to my next tip of the day. I hate doing post on blogger, as I have done here. I started using Windows Live Writer and it is amazing the difference in ease of posting. Check it out. It's free to download. Here.
