I woke up today, and took one look outside and knew that
today would be a lounging about at home day.
The sky was gray, and while rain has been in the forecast, it has been
dry so far. It seemed like a perfect day
to tackle something off our 80 things to do this summer list. I mentally went through the list, and make a
collage was the winner.
The girls and I flipped through a few magazines and found
images we thought would work and I set to cutting them out. While I was cutting, I remembered that when I
was a kid my grandma would occasionally mail my sister and I cut out images
from magazines. I don’t have any memory
of what we did with them, but I do remember being excited when they arrived.
We hit a bit of a snag when I realized that we didn’t have
any glue in the house… Luckily, I found
some craft glue for a Christmas craft in the laundry room, and was able to make
that work. India has already selected
her cutouts, and had a story to go along with them. Hadley was more interested in rubbing glue on
her fingers.
We didn’t collage for long, but I think that the girls
enjoyed it and we will do it again as I am sure we have not seen our last gray
day this summer.
What crafts do you remember from childhood?
