summer break week #2

On day 6 of my girls' summer break, they took a plaster magnet kit, and painted the magnets.  Evie got several crafting kits on her birthday.  This was super fun project for them (and easy for me- it didn't require any forethought ;).

On day 7 we melted down our many broken crayons and made chunky crayons.  The girls were super excited about this one.  It was also a fun project.  Here's a link to the tutorial if you want to get in on this action.  :)

On day 8 we ran around town shopping and what not.  That part wasn't the girls' favorite, but they did like our stop at Target for some big notebooks for them for drawing/writing.  They also liked our Red Robin lunch outing.

On day 9 the girls went to grandma's house for cooking and embroidery.  My mom bought these canvas tote bags, and they are working on embroidering them (I really like this idea!). 
On day 10 we used another one of Evie's birthday craft kits and made garden mosaic art- another fun and easy project.  
I am looking forward to next week's activities.

(Week 1's highlights include corner, monster book marks and paper cities.  Click here for pictures and links).

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a good weekend.
