Sunday Project: water coloring

Today Cielo had her friend Maude over and together they painted beautiful pictures with water colors.




Cielo is in an abstract phase ;)

Sunday Project: Umbrella

Today Cielo and I worked on our Sunday project, we made a colorful umbrella. Got the idea to work on something umbrella related because it's a rainy day and she loves her umbrellas. So much she took one to pre-school this week for share day.

For this umbrella I pre cut an umbrella shape out of a grocery paper bag and little squares of tissue. Cielo cut some of the orange squares for the umbrella handle. All we did was crumble the pieces of tissue paper and glue them to the kraft paper.

This activity brightens up any rainy day.

Sunday Project: Robots!

Woke up early this morning to prepare materials and gather supplies for Cielo's Sunday Project: Robots!

Cielo knew all morning her supplies were ready so she was anxious to get started. But we had plans for morning to pick up groceries at farmer's market and laundry supplies so she had to wait. At one point throughout the day she was asking to go home to work on her project. It was so cute. I'm so special she enjoys project time as much as I do.

I saw this project prolly on Crafty Crow's blog or on Family Fun (lol). I'll have to search for it.

Sunday Project: Crafty Little Hands

"Crafty Little Hands" is a Sunday project that I began this year with my 3 yr old, in order to help her develop her motor skills, listening skills and improving her attention span. I also want to create fond memories for her of us making crafts together.

I'm really inspired by my husbands family DIY (do it yourself) lifestyle and I want to pass that unto her.

This Sunday, Cielo made a butterfly garland out of string, straws and butterflies from Paper Source. As a working mom I rely on pre-made craft supplies from The Paper Source. I'm lucky to have one close by in Berkeley. I'm not sure what the pre-cut butterflies are for but I used them for this project. In Mexico, at farm weddings folks make the exact same garlands but with white straws and white flowers so this is where I got the inspiration to do this project.
