Cool Idea

I need to file this beauty of an idea away for future inspiration. What a fun way to compile (yet not have to keep) your kids' best artwork!

That is a really cute idea. I could see it with less squares and bigger images. cute.

I'm collecting "star" crafts to use at girls camp...I found a few at Family Fun, but I thought I'd mention it just in case you are interested in finding any good ones for me...

That is fun, like Wendy I'd rather have a bit larger artwork.

I'd like fun t-shirt ideas for the 4th. We've made the same style for several years (think of our last fam reunion). I think I may have a t-shirt making party.

Abby's class made fun puppets and performed a fun puppet show. I think I may try that, maybe an activity that takes more than one day will keep Abby busy.

ps like the new blog.
oh, one thing I've done each year for the 4th. I cut out a bunch of white rectangles, about 4x6. I also cut long strips of red paper, about 1/2 inch maybe wider, and squares of blue paper 2x2. I let the kids make flags. I love the ones the younger kids make. For the stars we just use star stickers, but one year I still had a star punch so we glued on stars. then we hang them all around the house. (we make a bunch because we like to glue)
