Crafts To Distract

To avoid

the sweltering heat

and thick moist summer air

we stayed indoors

besides venturing out to the pool.

Thankfully we have a wonderful library

near by with a huge selection of kids books.

Each week the kids would bring home

five books each and would include

books about CRAFTS.

But with amount of kids in the family

crafts can be extremely daunting

task for Mom.

So we started a plan where each day

1 kid would pick a craft from

the books and together with Mom

we would make it.

We made things like eggs carton caterpillars,

mailbox, puppet show house, puppets,

jean braided belt, fairy garden,

fairy house, basketball hoop,

flying bats, paper dolls and

princess crowns.

But sometimes we would do

a group project like

painting and bead necklaces!!

It was nice to have peace and quite

for an hour or so.
