A quick picture post to share with you the first craft of the summer this year. Yeah we had a craftily lazy summer vacation this year :) But today the kids were extremely excited with this activity that took up our morning when we had originally intended to finish off all the labeling of school supplies. But I guess in the last few days of the kids home, one could give themselves and myself this much leeway :)
Work in progress ...I took printouts of letters of the kids' names from these Alphabet Printables and stuck them onto different colored construction paper. The kids then cut them out and decorated those with crayons and stickers.
Then came the posing against different backgrounds! A brown tree trunk, green grass, blue sky!
I then put the 4 pictures to together on Picasa, made a collage, copy, pasted 4 of them on a Word Document and took printouts. And lo and behold, we have among us a lovely label and an extremely proud and happy soon to be Kindergartner!
The older sibling made it quite excitedly but doesn't want to have to do anything with it at all thereafter. "No way am I carrying it to school!" Well he is just a growing boy, I suppose.
The idea came from one of my absolute favorite activity blog here.
