Craft Time Chez Henderson

Since Halloween fell on a Saturday, the girls were pretty anxious all day about when we could go Trick-or-Treating. We started a countdown around 7:30 a.m. and our Trick-or-Treating didn't start until 3:30. The girls did pretty good about entertaining themselves and playing together really well for most of the day. Around 1 p.m. the wait seemed to start getting to them. So, I decided to spend some of the remaining time doing a fun fall craft project. We each traced our hands (and part of our arms) on brown cardstock and cut them out and glued it to blue paper. Then we proceeded to tear little pieces of various colors of cardstock and glued them on our "hands" and all over the blue paper. Our hands and arms serve as the trunk and branches of a tree and the torn pieces of colorful cardstock were the leaves. I think they turned out pretty good. And, more importantly, it made the last two hours go by fast and the girls had a lot of fun!
