Our crafts are off the CHAIN, yo!

I don't know what got into me in the title space, sorry.

I kept the kids home from school last Wednesday due to the storms. Well, not the storms themselves but the threat of what was to come, the threat of school letting out way early anyway, and the lack of electricity at Cale's school. So, we stayed home. But little kids and super stormy weather outside leaves you with a need for creativity inside.

I try to keep some crafts/ideas handy, but we were plum out of supplies. I decided to go with a good old fashioned "Chain O' Color".
Construction paper, paint, markers, crayons, stamps, and glitter glue equal a lot of time taken up and some artsy fartsy decor for the playroom.

We cut and colored and glued for what seemed like hours. We had about 100 pieces!

When they were dry, we spent a solid hour putting them together (while watching a movie in the floor under a fort and eating cookies, obviously).

I actually kind of love it.
It adds a nice splash of color to the playroom and the kids love picking out who did what (although, it's SO obvious: glittery hearts or I love my family are all Layla. The ones with 42 sharks in one place or smeared with red- Cale. And all the "abstract" pieces with smooshes of random colors, are Brynn's).
