Crafty

We're spending more time indoors as the daylight wanes, and the girls excited about some new creative opportunities.

Painting is a big hit! We've turned the living room into a gallery of their recent works both at home and from playgroup. They each have their own distinctive style; Moriah tends to work very carefully and deliberately, often only applying small stripes or circles of color. Bridget loves to apply lots of paint and mix the colors around.

I made some flubber for class the other day, and brought home some of the leftovers. For the uninitiated, flubber is in the same family as silly putty, but easier to work with. The girls love - they can break it, roll it, stamp it, bounce it, squish it...you get the picture.

Using their safety scissors and playing with stickers are also big hits. We bought some nice alphabet stickers in town today, and Bridget's first idea was to put them on the wall. They've also gotten creative with the scissors - I'll save that for another post. We'll continue to keep an eye on them while they're crafting.
