We started with Chinese Lanterns, but this caused a bit of a problem. Caden wanted to put a real light in it. It is a lantern and that is what they do he told me over and over! The only real problem was the cutting. Caden did great by himself, but Carter needed a little help, but then he became obsessed with the scissors! I had to give him 10 minutes just to cut some scraps.
Here are the finished projects. We ended up tying some yarn to them and hanging them in a couple of different places in the house.
Then we moved on the caterpillar C. Once I got the scissors away from Carter this one was more fun for him and easier for him to do. He loved picking out the colored pompoms to put on the C. I modified her idea and had them also glue scraps of tissue paper on it. They didn't really want to color at the moment, so I thought the tissue paper would give it some more color. Caden loved the tissue paper and the pompoms! Although I think the eyes and antenna were his favorite. Here is Carter concentrating really hard!

Hey that's pretty cool that they had the letter C this week for your two guys!! I finally got this website to work on my compter.
They did a great job! I am so proud of you for putting all of her great ideas to such good use....we are riding the bored train up here too, and I am just going to have to borrow a few of these!
A craft bag! What a great idea! I need to go get some supplies so we can start doing some different things, too. Rachael only wants to color and play with Playdoh for so long.
You are such a "Super Mom"! I don't think I have EVER done a craft with the girls, and you are doing them all the time! I am so impressed! I personally HATE crafts, but the girls would have so much fun if I got over that and did some of the stuff you do with the boys! I've now been inspired, thank you :)!
