Rainy Day Fun

This is what we are doing today on a very rainy/snowy day.
Can you tell what these will be? We started them last weekend with Dillon and Haylee.

Guessed it yet!?

Well, if you guessed Paper Mache piggy banks, you will have guessed right.
You have no idea how much fun it is to watch 3 children 5 and under paper mache. It's awesome. I let them do 95% of it themselves, I just smooth everything all out when they are done. Good times. And messy times.
Dillon and Haylee are going to finish theirs later next week, so Makayla and I are working on hers today. This is the last newspaper coat before we move onto tissue paper for some sweet colors!
I have polka dots, and nearly every color of the rainbow to choose from, including green with sparkles...oh yeah.

Stay tuned for the finished project in the next day or two!!!

So cute! I have been looking for a cute craft to do with Zack and Ava in a few weeks. This looks so perfect! Post pictures when you are done!

This is the best idea ever. Abby keeps asking for a piggy bank. I think we are going to be making one of these soon.
