Arts and Crafts Day with the Grandsons

Today was not an art day for myself.  Today was a "crafty" day with 4 of the grandsons who come up to the summer cabin to spend time with Greg and I (4 of the 12 grandkids) and one morning we always plan a craft or art activity.  One activity was a little more "craft" than art which was to put together a model...we found them a Michaels down in Wausau in June and they were a great buy...Dylan picked the dinosaur but the other boys built a car, a frog, and a spider.  Great for following direction and spatial relationships.  Grampy helped Dylan who at 7 is the youngest of the crew.   The second project was more "creative" in that they took lots of Grampa's old scrap lumber and created wonderful structures that went from car ramp jumps to bird houses (painted creatively).  The boys were SO pleased with themselves.  This is the last full day of the visit and we will sleep for two days after they leave!!!  I hope to get back to some art of my own after that.
