Arts & Crafts

Our Dollar Tree has a lot of fun craft items. Yesterday I bought 2 bags of styro-foam balls (various sizes), acrylic paint, and colored pipe cleaners.

Unfortunately I do not have pictures (the lense of my camera is broken! Hopefully I will get it fixed soon!), but today the boys all made bees. So cute! Justin actually made his entire bee out of pipe cleaners. Jonathan and Ryan used the balls and pipe cleaners. The balls were the body and the pipe cleaners served as legs and wings. This goes along with our bee unit study (and of course just for fun). We named Ryan's bee "Miss Apis" since Apis is part of the scientific name for bees.

Justin used the remaining balls to paint for his solar system (he is studying it on his own).
