It's Monday, So We Made Things!

 Hertsje saw some cute wooden spoon dolls on Pinterest and really Really REALLY wanted to make some!

But when she saw them, I didn't have any wooden spoons.  At least not any that were available for crafting.

I DO have soup that needs stirring from time to time.

So this weekend I made a point of picking up some wooden spoons.  I found a dozen at Micheals.  They are about half the size of my soup stirring variety, and they worked out nicely!  

Even Broeder joined in.

He was taking a nap when we started, but woke up in time to join us!

Broeder took his work VERY seriously.

This is what can only be described as a Broeder face.

Feintsje insisted that his was a PUPPET.  He made bedding for his puppet.  Hertsje made Rapunzel and a wicked step mother.  Broeder asked that I draw a face on this side.  The other side he covered very nicely in blue marker.  And in case you wondered, I made dancing sisters.
This was a fun project for everyone.  All it took were a few simple things.  And, when they were done they ran off to play with them!  I like that.  When they can MAKE something and USE it.
Tomorrow I'm going to see how the butterflies would work as fairy wings on a spoon doll.  Might be cute!
