Creative Fun

We pulled out some oldies but goodies in the last week or so.  Sidewalk Chalk and Play-Doh.  They had fun drawing at Grandpa’s one afternoon with some of their older cousins. 

   

Then, they came home and tried out the blending technique they had learned for making cool sunsets. 

Often, they watch cooking competitions online/tv – Chopped, Nailed It, etc.  Then, when the cook something, they narrate themselves doing it and make it into a cooking show.  Apparently, this makes it much more fun and exciting.  (Maybe I should try it when I cook supper!?!)  Other times, they will give each other themes and have to create “food” with their play doh.  One day, they had a beach theme.  They worked for probably an hour busily grating sand and sculpting figures.  This is Madison’s finished products – both under the sea and out of the sea:

         

These are Ellie’s finished creations:

    

Gloria has a wide collection of hats.  I forget why – I think for a gathering she goes to or from teaching?  Anyway, there were a few setting out the other day.  A hat from when Maynard was a security person; Jeremy modeled that one. 

Madison took a different hat, struck a pose, and here you go.
