Crafting, Building And Playing With Food

CRAFTING

We've had a lot of rainy days here, which often leads to lots of crafting

Lots of pretty scrapbook paper was strewn all over the dining room table so I couldn't resist and made this candle holder, cutting out parts of the design and then wrapping the paper around a glass jar.

 Aravis made this using fabric.

And letters from a Dasani water bottle :)

Aravis, who was thoroughly enjoying using the glue gun, also made this bedazzled chariot for Xury

BUILDING

 Aravis desperately wanted to, in her words, "accomplish" something herself, so she set to work making this cage for a chick she hopes to have someday.

Dominick helped with the cutting but she did all the planning, measuring, and nailing herself.

Nothing is more fun than a cup full of hardware.

PLAYING WITH FOOD

 We made peanut butter playdough for Xury

but everyone else ended up playing too.

 

She mostly just ate it.

There were so many different recipes on the internet that we just ended up adding dry milk and oatmeal to the peanut butter until it was the right consistency.

 Pretzel messaging.

My favorite.
