Christmas Crafts

Last year, part of Vera's Christmas gift from Patty included some foam crafts.  She was too small last year to do crafts, so I saved them and pulled them out last week.  Vera couldn't wait to do our "projects."  We did the snowman first.

Melted snowman?

Too cool for crafts.

Vera argued with me throughout the craft because Frosty is supposed to have a button nose and not a carrot nose.  Though she's right, according to the song, I finally convinced her that this snowman could have a carrot nose and buttons on his belly.  Funny thing is, this craft kit didn't come with any wiggly eyes either.  Claude and Vera were missing eyes, and so was Frosty.  I found two matching buttons in my stash and used those instead. 

He turned out pretty cute.  It just happened that the evening that we made Frosty, it was about 1 degree outside.  He surely was an appropriate craft!

This evening, we did the second craft.  This one was easier for Vera because the foam pieces had an adhesive backing.  She could press the pieces together without having a glue mess.  She was super excited about this "project" as well.

 

 

This one turned out really cute too.  When we were finished, she ran as fast as her legs could take her to show daddy her project.  She loves this kind of stuff!!

 

Santa found his home on our Christmas tree.  I'll have to date this project so we can enjoy Vera's crafting memories for many years to come.
