That Fuksa Family

We’ve been in the crafting mood around here lately. I blame the holiday season, the cold weather and the need to occupy a curious and very active almost-4-year-old. 

Last weekend Nathan and I made salt dough ornaments for his teachers. Since he just moved up into another classroom this week we decided we needed to give gifts to the teachers from the Giraffe room that he spent the past year with and also the new teachers in the Lion room. We had fun mixing the ingredients, using the rolling pin that Grandma gave Nathan and then cutting out the shapes with Christmas cookie cutters. I had intentions of taking pictures throughout the process, but I was covered up to my elbows with flower.

Since this was the first time I’ve made these ornaments they turned out a little thin. Next year I’ll have to remember to not let Nathan roll the dough out so much. But they still turned out well. Daddy joined in the painting fun and made a special Thomas the Train for Nathan. I added the glitter glue and soon realized that I needed to find many more things to glitter glue, it was so much fun. :)

Our boy really loves to do projects, and I really love spending time with him helping him create his masterpieces. So don’t be surprised if you see more project pictures or even receive one our crafty creations as a gift. I’m going to need to find a place to store all of the crafting supplies we’re acquiring!
