A place where I can post all the crafty, crazy things my two boys and I do together. I hope to inspire others to avoid perfection and just get into the fun of crafting with my kiddos.

What's the buzz?
The boys decided to play pollinators today after school. I know what you're thinking where do they get this stuff. I don't know what to tell you. I can tell you that first they decided to make hummingbird nectar to drink (apple juice with red food coloring). Next they both put on striped shirts and Kieran gave himself "8 eyes like a bee" by putting on his bumble bee glasses that have a bunch of holes in them. They then turn to me and say what about wings? Ummm...yeah...I'm chock full out of wings boys. But being the crafty pushover of a mom that I am I look around and improvise. I had just bought garden wire earlier in the day. Nice thick stuff that I was planning to use with my pea plants. So took it and made a figure eight. Next I covered each side of the eight with a clear produce bag. I tied the two produce bags together in the middle and safety pinned the whole thing to their striped shirts-voila-bee wings! Love their creativity and even more I love that they are no old enough I can just open the back door and say "have fun, I'll call you when dinner is ready!"
