E drawing a picture with glue, then sprinkling it with sand

Making stamps using cardboard that came with the iron we purchased

Searching for jewels in sand 

Sifting for treasures in action 

This is one of my favorite art creations the boys have ever done!
Step one:  Grind crayons (I used my hand blender, but you could use a cheese grader)

Step 2:  Sprinkle between two pieces of wax paper

Step 3:  Cover with an old rag, and iron them
This is what they come out looking like

Step 4:  Cut into a triangle and sew or glue to a piece of ribbon
The finished product is this gorgeous sun catching banner

Have you ever seen anyone so happy to see chickens?

Water balloon painting
Step one - Freeze a few water balloons, then cut the balloon off 

Step 2 - Find a surface to roll them on and add paint

Doing a little teamwork

Magnetic fishing game
Each fish has a word on the back side, and a paper clip attached

Great for learning to read!

Once they learn the set of words, I make new fish
