Summertime Easy...

I have not felt too creative lately in the kids craft department. I have been sewing a lot and packing boxes and the weather has been so incredibly beautiful all summer that our time is mostly spent outside or at the lake. I was feeling a bit guilty about it all today as we are usually "art project girls" as Fia would say so I decided to do something fun and easy just for the kids. We picked up some nature on our morning walk, brought it home and taped it to beautiful paper. Easy and the kids had a blast. I then helped them make little thread dolls I remembered from this post. Mine took much less effort (mere minutes!), but I think next time I would stitch the dress on with a little thread as Kasper ripped off the double stick tape way too many times...
So, phew, feeling crafty and outdoorsy and can get back to packing and such while the kids are entertained with these sweet little happy girls for awhile!
