Craft Time @ the Jense's

My kids love crafts. Now that they are getting older they like to have a project to be working on. I have tried to be better about letting them do some craft projects so here are some of the things we have done over the past few months.

TIE DYE T-SHIRTS


This was the first time using the spray tie dye and I am not to sure If I like it. If we do it again I think we will do the good old fashion tie dye.

PAINTING
Next we did some painting. I bought them each their own canvas and they were allowed to paint it as they wish! You can see Easton has on his tie dye shirt:)



NO-SEW PUMPKINS
This last weekend we had my nephew Brock spend the day with us and we made these no-sew pumpkins. The boys had a blast, and loved searching the back yard for the perfect stick to poke in as a stem. We had a great time.




HYGIENE KITS
We also put together some hygiene kits for a humanitarian project for FHE and my kids loved it. They really love serving others and we need to do this more.


HALLOWEEN BASKETS
And then last but not least we worked on these Halloween treat baskets for Trey and Easton's school class. They sure are cute, but they take some time. Good thing we are starting now. If we are lucky we will have around 75 done by Halloween. Wish us luck.

You are such a crafty little mama! And have more patience than I do. I should do that more with my kids. They would love it. I have to say I am so envious of your scrapbook room. I wish I had a place to keep it all out and organized. Too fun.

You are truly an inspiration. I am always amazed everytime I read your blog and I always come away thinking wow I need to be better. So I am thinking I want to start saving tops and help out. We will start saving so e-mail me next time you are going up. Thanks for the inspiration.

Adorable ideas. I have to say I am always amazed at how well you do with your cute kids. Sometimes I think I am doing well just to manage my one.
