Back to School Project Time

I've been majorly slacking on the kiddo's craft time lately!  We've been busy playing, enjoying the nice weather, and doing stuff around the house and had absolutely no motivation to make stuff.  So today I decided enough is enough, and spent all of 2 minutes cutting out some pieces for them to glue together.  Easing myself back into it with something super simple...a construction paper pencil to celebrate Back to School time this week.

I handed the kids the pieces and showed them the order they went into and they glued it themselves.  Micah wrote his own name and Liliana traced letters I had written on for her.  It was her first time tracing!  I helped her do the first LI and she did the rest herself.  She did really well on the second LI but then seemed to get bored and just kind of scribbled over it. 

Hopefully we'll do something a little more labor intensive soon, I have my eyes on some egg carton school buses.  And in a few more weeks, we can start fall projects, which I adore!  Leaves, apples, pumpkins, acorns...way more fun to craft than beach balls and seashells in my opinion!


Hope everyone's Back to School time is going well.  Micah starts on Thursday and I can't wait to get some routine back into our lives!
