Arts and Crafts

Last week I took the kids to Michaels to pick out some things we could do while we are home for the summer.  The kids loved the store and we eneded up spending qutie of bit of time there.  They each got to pick out one activity they wanted to do. 

The one activity I influences was dot painting.  Both kids loved this.  This type of painting is not as messy and they can create anything.  I got a book to accompany the paints and they loved it!

 We have also played with playdough a lot lately.  I hope this will improve their fine motor skills. They both wanted sissors ad did very well with them. 
This is Hayden's snowman.  He said it was too hot outside so he wanted to make something cold. 

 We did a Father's Day activity yesterday.  We finger painted a picture for Grant.  Afterwards I let them paint anything they wanted.  I was surprised that they weren't as interested in this.

 Hayden studied his colors carefully planning out his picture.  He wanted baby wipes so he wouldn't mix the colors.  Addyson wasn't as worried about that.
