Today's a Better Day

Today's a better day.  Much better.

Today was the second day of Spring Co-op.  We are enrolled in a family craft class.  (Thank goodness I have a friend who is willing to watch Paige during this class because I highly doubt my ability to help three kids craft while watching a baby during the time she normally takes a nap.)  Each parent in the class has a day scheduled where they take their turn preparing and teaching the craft.

Next class, its my turn.

Last week's family craft was a mini tie-dying project with pillow cases (they put a piece of the pillow case around the top of a plastic cup, colored on it with permanent marker, then using a water dropper they dropped rubbing alcohol on it so the colors spread out.  Mostly they loved having pillow cases to roll around in and have waddling races.

This week they decorated Easter baskets and made hollow eggs by dipping yarn in glue and wrapping them around a small balloon.  As it dries, you pop the balloon and the yarn holds its form in the little egg shape.  Perfect little Easter craft. They loved it.
