This weekend Mike was up to eyeballs in yard work and what I hope is the final dryer repair. I decided it was craft time. Nobody escaped this time, mwah ha ha! Anyway, I just pulled out my Halloween craft supplies and grabbed some paper, plates and a toilet paper tube. I just winged it with Roo, but I set Isaac to work on this guy.
Pumpkin Plate
I said this last year when Riley and I made spider webs, but I can't get over how much she's grown up in a year! She painted her pumpkin all by herself. I alternated projects while paint dried in between steps and she hung in there. I helped cut the face out, but she glued and arranged it on her own. It came out cute, don't you think?
Ghost Feet
When I hung up one of her footprint ghost pictures from last year Riley insisted we do a new one. I painted her foot with white washable paint and had her step down on black paper. One footprint came out wonky so we decided it was a big bone. I gave her googly eyes to glue on. She drew a smile on the ghost and the bone and added Halloween stickers.
Frankenstein Toilet Paper Tube
I let her paint half the tube green and then helped her glue a strip of black for the hair. Once it was all dry she drew a very happy face and stitches.
Paper Skeleton
He used the template I linked to above, but I didn't have the right kind of plates so I gave him white card stock. He traced his own hands and feet. Check out how big his feet are?!? Then I had him trace the outline of a plate on each piece of card stock so that he could match the images easier. I think he did an amazing job drawing and cutting them out. Once he had all the bones I gave him my Crop-a-dile and a quick lesson in it's use. Then we discovered we didn't have any black pipe cleaners so he chose yellow. Did you notice he drew spiderwebs in his eyes?
