Some Bats!

I got this idea from Family Fun a while ago, but instead of making finger puppets, I tied string to them so we could hang them. I didn't have black pompoms on hand, and couldn't find any locally (there is such a lack of craft stores around here!) so I made some out of yarn. There is a popo tutorial here. I actually planned on making these with our playgroup the other day, but the kids were playing so nicely we didn't want to interupt them for a craft. So Ana and I made all the leftover bats together. I did most of the glueing and she did everything else!

PS- I changed Anastasia's name to Ana for this blog to make it simpler and calling the kids A and I was just too confusing! So Ana is Anastasia and Bel is Isabel.

Decorating Pumpkins

Toddler style... I don't really like markers much, but they do have their uses. I saw this activity on A Bit Of This and A Bit Of That last fall and Ana loved it! We just colored on the pumpkin with WASHABLE markers. And, she can wash it off with a sponge and start all over! Brilliant. Just brilliant!
