Christmas Craftiness

If you follow the blog you know that we Stuhan girls love our art projects.  This past month they've taken the form of making ornaments, partly because it's just the right time of year and partly due to necessity.  We couldn't bring all that kind of stuff with us so we're kinda building our tree from scratch.  Thank goodness we have such great little helpers.

The girls hard at working making snowflake ornaments.  The idea was to combine shaving cream and glue to make "puffy"ornaments.  It's rumored that it works -- maybe you just need Barbasol and Elmer's, neither of which I have ever seen here.

Still, such a great tactile activity!  I'd do it again just for that!

How things were shaping up.

Working on Christmas wreathes.

Yes, that is our laundry drying on our dining chairs.  We had a pretty serious rainy spell there!

You'll also see some snowmen below.  Those are simply made out of glue.  Just shape the glue, let it dry, and decorate.  That one the girls completed, with the colors and styling of their choice, with Daddy.

And now, for the finished products, as they hang  ...
