Crafting Along with the Kids (2012 & 2013)

[meleriffic]

My 5 year old daughter made Valentines for her class. I cut out the hearts, and she glued them on and wrote the message.

Those are cute cards, and your daughter writes so well!

Where the valentines well received by her classmates?

They aren't actually giving out the Valentines until Friday.

I'm going to have to join this craft along in 2013!  The kids and I are usually making lots of things through out the year.

Oh my goodness, someone posted!  Haha.  Hey Belladune!  It wasn't much of a craftalong this year but here's to hoping for round two.  =)

[Belladune]

Well, My weave along was pretty sad this year too.   So hopefully next year is better for both!

I work fulltime from home with my kiddo/baby.sweets4ever (turned 4 in late October).  I'm pregnant with our second, due in early May.

We do at least two projects a week, aside from coloring, finger painting, etc.  I find it gives me a reason to step away from the computer/work for my lunch hour and obviously he loves it!  If it wasn't for his projects, I'd probably just work through the entire day until evening.  His grandma also stops over once a week for a crafty playdate (love that).

Here's a project we did back in December http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=418506.0


Here are some other projects we've done over the last year.

This is focused more on the stop motion video, but he LOVED painting outdoors, so I'll share it here, too. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=414695.0


Did you guys know Lowes and Home Depot both offer FREE kid workshops?  They are a blast and all supplies and gear are included. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=410698.0


I made this as a surprise for him, but you could totally arm the little ones with markers, glue and construction paper to decorate their own http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=410325.0  I made it last June and we JUST parted with it last week.  It was the toy that kept on giving!  Every kid who visited this house, rode in that thing.


Love love love projects that "document" a little bit about the time they were created.  I interviewed him and we created this http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=410171.0


One of my personal favorites.  He still decorates and changes this one around. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=410049.0

Ah, and two more!  I can't stop.

Okay, another personal fave!  We made these for Christmas, but you can do any shape and design to make them for any time of year. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=402743.0


Loooved making these http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=400123.0
