Wii, Winter boots, & Windsocks

Chris and I have finally given into the Wii craze.



My parents came into town for a bit of shopping and dinner at our house and even Grandpa decided that bowling on the Wii is pretty fun.



Josie has outgrown her winter boots and although I'd love to not replace the boots until next winter, that's just not an option in West Michigan. Josie was happy to model her new pink fuzzy boots along with her fuzzy church coat.





Here's another idea for recycling your child's artwork to make a windsock. Even if it's only 16 degrees outside this morning, we're attempting to bring a little more spring into our house.



Supplies needed:

Paper
Ribbon, string, or curling ribbon
Tape or glue
Hole punch


Step 1. Emma chose decorative scrapbooking paper to make her windsock. I used one of Josie's paintings to create her windsock.



Step 2. Take the drawing and fold it into a cylinder shape. Tape along the edge to seal close.

Step 3. Using a hole punch, make two holes and thread your string through the holes and tie to make a loop for hanging.



Step 4. Attach curling ribbon or other decorative ribbon to the bottom of your cylinder to jazz up your windsock.



Step 5. Hang your windsock and enjoy!





Happy Crafting!!
