Whew.... I just spent several hours going through the pictures from the week... We have been busy! I knew Earth Day was soon approaching and I wanted to do some fun activity with you two! After a little research and an inventory of household items... I decided we would make recycled paper with flower petals/grass ;c)
We gathered our items outside and it was precious to watch you carry around the bag filling it with dandelions and grass... After a few minutes of playing we came in and tore up a bunch of scrap paper, mixed it with warm water and blended it down to a pulp... I may have broken the little strainer/sifter thing to get a screen for this project (sorry Josh..)
After a few days they were finally dry (glad I planned ahead) and ready for you to watercolor! *Thank you to The Grandmother for bringing us the wonderful batch of art supplies* While my mother was visiting she suggested I trace your hands (smart)... I spent days on this project... After gluing the carefully cut hand prints to the paper, I turned my back for a second and.... $#!?... One of you got Cash's down and broke it into little bits... Oh well... What's next?!
I love you both equally and more than anything!
Happy Earth Day 2012!
Great project and as for the breaking of the hand... boys will be boys and you have it x2! Hope you are healthy and happy :} All my love to all y'all!
