Cute Mike Wazowski! We brought our kids to watch Monsters University recently and they really enjoyed the show. Their favorite character is the adorable little monster called Mike Wazowski. So I decided to do a Mike Wazowski Paper Plate Craft with my kids when we got home. I came across a beautiful website by Kimberly that has printables for Mike Wazowski. Here's the link. http://learncreatelove.com/?p=5225 So I just printed out the template for Mike and simply replaced his body with a paper plate. Then I got the kids to paint his body light green and then pasted his body parts together on the paper plate. Lastly, I simply attached a string on the top of the paper plate so that we can hang Mike Wazowski on our door. :) Enjoy the craft! Materials Needed: - Paper plate - Light green paint - White paper (print template from http://learncreatelove.com/?p=5225) - String 1. First step is to paint the paper plate light green in color for Mike Wazowski's body. 2. Then continue painting the rest of his body parts light green in color. Leave them to dry. 3. Then cut out his body parts and glue them on the paper plate. 4. Lastly, glue string on the top of the paper plate so that you can hang Mike Wazowski on your door. Hope you enjoyed the Monsters' U Mike Wazowski Paper Plate Craft!
Apparently there are a few homemade Zoos on the go now, which is just brilliant! Though it does mean the pressure's on to come up with some new ideas. Luckily I've been saving the penguins - and do you know, they're probably my favourites so far. SO quick and easy. You will need: Egg carton Scissors Small piece of cereal box card PVA/craft glue Paint (black, white, yellow) Fine black felt-tip or gel pen Nail scissors (straight-edged or similar *to be used by an adult) For their iceberg home: Egg cartons Ice-cream carton lid or similar The penguins are made from the long pointy cone bits in the box that protect the eggs. Some cartons don't have them but plenty do. How easy is that? *If your cones have holes in the top, dab some glue inside the top of the cone and then push a small piece of newspaper up, to block the hole.* First, roughly cut out as much of the middle cones as you can - this makes them easier to work with. Then, with a pencil, mark points on the 4 corners, just above the bumpy cardboard joins. Then join the points with a pencil line, all the way around the cone (just a guide so don't worry if it's a bit wobbly). Carefully cut up to the pencil line (at an angle is easiest) and then along the line. Take time doing this so the edge is nice and even and your penguin body sits steady on a flat surface. Paint one side white - and cut out and paint a few of the egg cups and the box lid too (for the icebergs) REMEMBER to also paint a small piece of cereal box card yellow for beaks and feet (about 10cmx10cm). Once the paint's dry it's time for the black. I found a quick outline with a black pen or pencil on the penguin's front helped. She's pretty neat, my 6 year old, but there mightn't have been a lot of white left if we'd gone completely freestyle! TIP: Put your penguin on a spare egg carton cone to make it easier to paint (and less messy!) Use a black marker or gel pen to dot on eyes, close to the top of the head. For the beak, either: Paint or draw one on, Or, cut out a small triangle and glue on, Or, cut a thin strip from the yellow painted cereal box card. Snip the end into a 'V' and cut off the top cm or so (see picture below). Draw a short line right under the eyes. Use the nail scissors to pierce a hole on the line (keep them closed, press down and twist carefully from side to side). Snip the slot and wiggle the scissors a little, to make it easier to slot the beak through. Dab some glue behind the slot. Cut two long, thin triangles for feet. Stick the pointy end underneath the front, and leave your penguin lying on its back until the glue is dry. Then bend them into place. For their frosty, iceberg scene, paint a piece of paper or cereal box card blue, and cut to fit the ice-cream lid. (Paper is easiest - press into the shape of the lid, to make creases around the edges, so you can see where to cut) Then, have fun arranging your icebergs. We used part of the egg box lid for a base, then cut the egg cups so they were all different sizes. Stick the cups on top/in front/in the water - wherever you like really, before sploshing on another thick coat of white to fill any gaps. One of our penguins has lost his head and gone for a dip... I've had a request for monkeys and a whale... need to think about the whale, (though there is a whale HERE now!), but I've a sort of plan for monkeys, so they'll be next! Anything else you'd like to see in the Zoo? Within reason, obviously! Many more projects like this in my craft books, 'Make Your Own Zoo' and 'Make Your Own Farm Animals'

Some of the kids sang the theme song during church Sunday morning. Last week our church held VBS. This year's theme was Kingdom Rock: Stand Strong for Jesus. The kids had a wonderful time (as always) and learned so much. I was in charge of preschool crafts again this year and had a great time doing that. I thought I'd share a few pictures from our week. Laura and I made this castle from cardboard boxes for the preschool craft room. The entrance to the craft room. Daniel Allison and Georgie Jack We made these watercolor crosses the day we learned about Jesus dying on the cross. We started with a blank sheet of white paper with a cross traced on it. The kids had to color the cross with white crayon. Then when we water colored the paper the cross stayed white. It was a wonderful way to show the kids that even though we can't see Jesus (like when the colored the cross white) we know He is there. If we trust, He will show us the way (like when we painted the page). We made wooden photo frames that held a picture of them from earlier in the week. We also made a prayer book from their hand prints which they filled with pictures of who they liked to pray for.

We're very nearly there. My husband's home this month! THIS MONTH! Can't tell you how great it feels to write that. I'd almost do a jig if I wasn't so blinking tired...just a few more weeks... The last bit is tough though - time starts crawling by - still, I've allowed the final countdown to begin in my head, and I'm on a kind of manic mission to get the house sorted and things finished before he's back. This usually happens, and as I've already said it's completely bonkers, because he's not going to be remotely bothered about how the house looks. He just wants to be home. But I think it helps me somehow. Not everything has gone to plan. I won't be meeting him at the door, wrapped in a crocheted blanket of many colours, as I'd optimistically thought way back when, before granny squares got the better of me. According to my little counter I've almost enough for a blanket, but sewing them together could take another year... During a kitchen drawer clear out (because he's really going to be looking through the drawers..) I found a box of fish. They're made from copper wire someone gave me a while ago. I bent it with pliers into a simple shape, then threaded beads and shells onto very thin wire, and wrapped this around each one. I've always had a thing about fish. Not exactly sure why, but there's something comforting about them. I have shoals of all shapes and sizes, on curtains, cushions, pictures, tiles - you could easily play spot the fish in any room here. Over the years I've worked them into many things I've made too, and that's really what I'm getting at in a roundabout way. The last time my husband was on tour in Afghanistan I made a large mosaic fish mirror, and it is important to me - packed with memories and emotion. Making something out of the wire fish is similar really. A reminder of the year - the ups and downs, but I hope mostly the positive things that have come out of these 12 months on my own. I knew I had a bag of lovely bleached, smooth pieces of driftwood gathered on a beach trip, so a mobile seemed like a good option. Getting the balance right was tricky, but attaching it to a hanger on a curtain pole meant I could fiddle about with the dangling fish, and get them hanging properly. Now they're swimming around in the bathroom, and mobiles have been added to my list of things that are seriously hard to photograph.. Will he notice? Maybe not. But it'll always mean something to me.
Alrighty, so today is a big day...Earth Day and day one of KCW and somehow we managed to get in a lot of beautiful outside time, a recycled craft and an upcycled outfit! Where to begin? First, we painted some egg cartons. I cut the egg cartons into flower shapes...
