The boys were begging to learn to sew, so I made them cards to practice on and big plastic needles. They loved it! BTW, the green kid was an alien today. In case you were wondering.
Now that's a good idea. I think even I can handle that. You could even make two and have them sew them together once they get the hang of it. Yee-haw -- an art project that I'm smart enough to do!!
Grayson paints his face so often, I hardly even notice it in pictures. It didn't occur to me that this isn't normal five-year-old behavior?! I guess it's a good thing we're homeschooling, huh? He might get ragged on if I sent him to school all painted up for no good reason!

You must be a fun mom! I don't encourage my kids to change colors just for fun, lol.

I love how Greyson is always dressing up and being a new character. He´s got a great imagination.
Those sewing cards are a great idea. My mom used to make similar ones for us out of plastic ice cream bin lids.
