Preschooler Art

We were given a stool for the kid to decorate for a local arts and crafts store, and we decided to make it the only one actually done completely by a kid.  It's friggin awesome.

She painted a good bit of it, then declared it done.  Her dad and I filled in the negative space with more paint, covered it with clear coat, and turned it in.  They didn't think it was the awesomest one ever, but I do. And that's what counts.

Melty Beads

In our house we have discovered melty beads, also known as Perler beads.  Somehow, we have three buckets of these things and they were all free.  Once someone knows you dig melty beads, they start coming in like crazy!
