Kids Gettin Crafty

Valentine's day is just around the corner, so it was time to pull out the red construction paper and the doilies, the heart sticker and the sequins, and get our fingers all sticky with glue to make some pretty frilly valentine's cards. Nothing says love quite like a homemade valentine from your kids. I just love watching each of them work in their own creative way. Addie's favorite part was pouring out the glue, dumping on the confetti and of course cutting up little pieces of paper with the fancy scissors. Carter liked painting and stamping with all the bright, pretty colors, although he ended up with more on his hands then the paper. Philip has become quite the little creator, he was very thoughtful and precise as he executed his art plans; he drew one long straight line of glue and carefully arranged the sequins on it; he cut one long straight line and folded his card just right. Sadie is a true artist. She draws beautifully, with an eye for detail and scale that impresses everyone. I love to see things through the eyes of a child... especially my children.
