The boys and I had a Make and Create Day today!!!
Roman has been really into water beads lately, so I looked up activity ideas on Pinterest…this one popped up and looked messy but fun…Shaving Cream and Water Bead Cupcakes. Yes!!! The boys had a BLAST filling their bowls with shaving cream, adding drops of food coloring, dumping in handfuls of water beads, mixing it all up into cupcake and cake creations, and decorating them with shaving cream icing and sprinkles.
We also made journals…this is one of my favorite things to do. We sat in the floor and cut out a bunch of different images and phrases we liked from a stack of magazines. Then, we collaged them onto the front and back of a Mead composition notebook with glue and sealed them with ModPodge. Such a fun creative exercise! It always relaxes and energizes me to do something creative…I think it has the same effect on my boys. Yay!
