Jack Frost

So we went to see Rise of the Guardians last week (finally). Little man loved it. Big man had to leave the theater because the Boogeyman's nastiness was a bit too realistic. but he liked it anyway.
Tonight after Karate little man decided he wanted to be Jack Frost. We, of course, had to make the stick that Jack holds.
Luckily we had some leftover wrapping paper tube that provided a great body and then we covered it in white paper because little man said Jack's stick was white. Finally he added some watercolor brown spots to give the finishing touches.
Now just to find a blue hooded sweatshirt, and brown pants.
Oh and he tells me I can be the tooth fairy. Feathers anyone?
Ps this is our white board recreation of the cast. Pretty good huh?

Little Big man's Bed

So as I was changing the sheets on big man's bed tonight I was loving that most of his stuffed animals were homemade. We have a few books with characters and he picks them out and we attempt them. Some are also just random ideas I had or he had.

Every time I look anthem I think of all the stuffed animals my grandma made. And all the pillows my mom made (one of which is still on my younger son's bed).
I don't have girls but I have tried to instill a love of all things crafty and creative in my boys. My greatest hope is that when they are grown and I visit I will find some homemade creatures in their children's beds as well.
