Hello All... Still working on unpacking (the house looks great!) but I do have a few "reserve" projects to post. Below is a project that I did with both M1 & M2 a few weeks ago. I wanted the girls to create something out of some scraps that we found laying around the construction site @ our new house. So we went out & did some searching. Both girls were strongly attached to a few scraps of wood that we decided to take home. Once we took a closer look @ them, I realized that they would make really cute little houses. They sat in a bag near our craft area for a few weeks & then we began....
-M1 chose two paint colors & began painting her pieces of wood...
(We used craft paint.)
On to the other piece...-M1 chose two paint colors & began painting her pieces of wood...
(We used craft paint.)
-Next I cut out some small squares & rectangles using some patterned craft paper we had in our paper drawer.
-M1 glued them to the rectangle piece of wood to create small windows & a door.
-Once we got all the doors & windows attached, she was ready to add the roof!
(We used wood glue for this part.)
-More drying time...
I dated the bottom of both of their houses & plan to place them on a shelf or bookcase somewhere in their bedrooms once we move in. A small remembrance of our house construction! Move in date is only 3-4 weeks away!
Enjoy! s.b.
