Lunch sack turkeys!

We saw something similar at a friend's house the other day that Lindsey loved, so we decided to make them this morning.

All you need is a couple of lunch bags, construction paper, scissors, glue, stapler, and a few pieces of newspaper to stuff the body of the turkey. Rand wasn't interested and only did some half-hearted gluing. Lindsey was all over the stapler.

Playing Catch-Up

There are lots of reasons I haven't updated this blog in a while. We went on our trip. I had a primary program to do. Lindsey's birthday. Halloween. Lovely weather keeping us outside rather than inside. Whatever. With how busy this fall has been, I have really slacked off on putting together many projects for us to do. But it's such a great season for kid crafts. Let's play catch-up of what we have done recently so we can get going on some other new ideas!

(These are in reverse order since I can't seem to move the pictures around for some reason today).

Handprint turkeys.

I think they make a nice garland above our mirror,

though we could have used some brown paint to round off the fall colors.

And what's up with the red paint looking pink?

Pre-turkeys.

See, I told you this was in backwards order!
