Craft Time

I meant to post this earlier in the week, but didn't have much time on the computer. We have been keeping busy! I found some great craft ideas on the blog, No Time For Flashcards, and decided to get the boys busy!

My Dad, aka Pops, has a birthday today, so I asked the boys what they would like to make for him. Of course they said that Pops needed some train pictures. So here is what we came up with...

I simply cut out some pieces of construction paper and they glued them together to make a train. I had to help Carter a bit, and guide him on what to put where. He did do the shapes in the back car by himself. Caden on the other knew exactly how he wanted his train to look, so I let him run with it! They had fun!

Here is Carter posing with his finished project!
Here is Caden with his. He drew a serious background for his train, complete with tracks, a smokestack, a sky, etc.

For our second project we decided to paint a sun for my Grammy, aka Gammy Flo. She has been sick for a bit and I thought she needed some cheering up.

Caden really got into the painting!
Carter wasn't sure about the painting, but he did well!
Brandy brought Graydon over and he got in on the craft action!
Brandy had the wonderful idea to add Little Cole's hands and it turned out too cute! He wasn't sure about me putting it by his head, but I wanted a pick of his 1st craft :) Here is one of the finished suns, Grammy Flo loved it!
