Getting Crafty

A wonderful thing about being on vacation with kids is the fact that you actually get to play with them. At home it seems I am constantly distracted with laundry, dishes, making food, cleaning up food, loading the car, unloading the car...you know the drill. I would love to do more crafty and cute things with the kids at home but in reality, it never works out as planned. So, we've done a few things here in Colorado and I think that being here has provided us with some great "natural" supplies for our projects (like pine cones, pine needles, and cool rocks). 

Plaques made from flour, salt, and water:



 After baking in the oven for two hours, this is how our plaques turned out! Lainey's is propped up against the wall. Walker's is on the left and mine is on the right. Mine is supposed to be a mountain and a sun but it's really not that attractive. 

 And, here are our hedgehog friends! Walker's is on the left - Lainey's is on the right. They are cute!

And, here's our fish tank!
