Alright, I'm heading to Seattle in, oh, about 12 hours. Yet here I am. I can't help but post a bit about our 4th of July crafts. Let me just say this. Cyrena LOVES our flag. Everywhere we drive she looks for it and points it out excitedly. When she sees it in a book, she beams. So preparing her for the 4th of July has been a lot of fun. Here's what we've been up to:
Cookie Cutter Stars
We dipped our star cookie cutters in blue and red paint, then stamped it onto the paper. When she was done with her design, we added glitter! I've done this with different cookie cutters with my preschoolers. But I saw the stars twist on here and had to give it a try. Cyrena loved it of course. But she had to put them on top of each other over and over. I kept trying to get her to spread out...but she has her own design ideas and I let her go with it.
This was supposed to be a flag (again with her own design ideas. She wanted to fingerpaint a flag, then got tired halfway through and requested a brush. Brushes are easier to paint with. Therefore, we have no more white stripes on the flag. Sorry to disappoint. I think it's pretty cute though.
Last week we made a 4th of July mobile I saw on here. I don't have a picture of ours but it looks very similar to the one you'll see in the post. I think it is SO cute and Cyrena has loved having it in her room, spinning from the draft of the fan.
Wishing everyone a wonderful 4th of July. I know we'll be having fun in the Northwest!

Say hi to home for me! :) I wish my kids liked to do crafty things...it's like pulling teeth around here if we even get color crayons out.
great crafts!! be safe! (watch our for vampires) =)
Way to go on the skirt and headband! I'm very impressed. I think it takes me 15 to 20 minutes just to get my sewing machine set up. That's why I still haven't hemmed pants I bought in October.
Have a good trip and...um...good luck!
