Alexa selected three arts and crafts books from our trip to the library yesterday. They inspired her to begin a few projects today. We didn't have all the correct materials but were able to make it work. She started out wanting to make pin-wheels.

She uses them as a make shift fence to keep Cabbie out of her flower garden.

Not really sure how the construction paper will hold up out there, but she was happy. Chloe joined us and we moved on to alligators.

Alexa added a butterfly to her collection.
Chloe went off on her own and created a small bird. "These are the birds that sit in their mouths clean the alligators teeth." Of course you need one of those.

Don't worry she gave her sister the tutorial so she could make her alligator a teeth cleaning bird too. I think Chloe should write her own craft book.
My children are so deprived by lack of crafting interest and talent. Come craft with them.
