Crayola Art Duffle

Mommy was sick last week and we didn’t get a chance to do too many crafts. We spent most of the week at home and Ethan and I watched Blues Clues, Dora and Little Einsteins and spent a lot of time playing together. Even though Mommy wasn’t feeling all that great we went to Branson for the weekend, did some shopping and went to an RV show. I loved going in all the RV’s! I got to get in the drivers seat and was happy to tell everyone that I was driving a bus. I tried out all the couches and pointed out all the potties. I was really excited that the nice lady from Camping World gave me a balloon and a little girl made me a lady bug bracelet out of a big balloon. I got to pick my color both times and I choose Orange which is mommy’s favorite color. Boo is still getting used to wearing his big boy shoes and he keeps trying to chew them off. We’re going to start doing fun crafts and learning activities again tomorrow and start posting everyday like we used to.

We read Sheep in a Jeep a few times today because its my favorite book and I always want to read it one more time. I like it because it has silly sheep riding in a Jeep. The Jeep is red just like Mommy’s. Its a funny book and I like telling Mommy everything that is happening in the pictures. Mommy uses it to teach me words that rhyme. We read it almost everyday and today we made our own Sheep in a Jeep on a hill that’s steep.

Mommy did all the cutting and I got to do my favorite part, the gluing! We cut green paper to make a hill and glued it on to the blue sky. We cut a jeep out of red paper and the wheels out of black paper. We added a tree and I stuck on some of my foam leaves and even managed to sneak in a butterfly and a few flowers. We added cotton balls for sheep but they don’t look much like sheep. It’s OK though, they are fluffy like sheep and it doesn’t bother me.

Mommy has been sick the past couple of days so we didn’t do any crafts today. I did color in my coloring book for a little while until I got in trouble for trying to color Boo’s head. Mommy did teach me how to get dressed like a big girl. Since I am being a big girl and going potty Mommy helped me with pulling my pants up and down, putting my shirt on and putting my shoes and socks on. I am really good at putting my shoes on. Boo thought it was funny when we were taking shirts on and off and he decided to take his off!

I got to learn about horses today. I kept confusing them with cows so Mommy decided to set me straight. We watched some horse video’s on You Tube, one horse named Patches was riding in a car! We had horse food, carrots and apples, for a snack. I colored a horse with my crayons and then I made a horse with clay from my Busy Box.

Here’s my horse!

Today Mommy opened up the craft box and let me do what I want. I always want to do crafts on paper plates so I choose one on those. Then I used my Do-A-Dot’s and made lots of polka dots all over the plate. I glued on ribbon, cotton balls and crepe paper then to finish it up I stuck on some of my favorite foam butterflies and dragonflies. I love butterflies almost as much as I love Dora.
