Mother's Day crafts

Thursday was craft day at Grandma's. We decided that the kids would paint birdhouses for their moms for Mother's Day These were re cute, little, wooden houses that I bought at the dollar store.
We used washable paints and set everything up in the garage. So after school we got started. As you can see we had a wide variety of techniques.
Josh's birdhouse was a kaleidescope of colors. He wanted to use every color in the paint box on the house with an emphasis on black. Kelly's house was very typically Kelly; pink and purple. She's such a girly-girl. And Erin's house showed her personality as well. Blue with white polka dots and white with blue polka dots. Erin is more creative and steps out of the box. All in all it was a good day and the mom's were surprised with their gifts. I don't know who enjoyed craft day more; Me or the grandkids.
