Pet Rock and More

Since Heidi Anne is able to participate in the fun "big kid" crafts and activities at preschool and little cute projects get lost over the years, I'm going take pictures of them as keepsakes for Heidi Anne.

Her first one was her pet rock. It may look black (mostly because it is) it's meant to be purple. She picked a brown rock and painted it very carefully with her current favorite color-purple. However, Brown Rock + Purple Paint = Black Pet Rock. Either way she loves it and is super proud of her accomplishment.

This is her car. I could say she was trying to be a non-conformist by leaving it blank. But in all actuality I think she just had to much fun playing with it, wouldn't color it, therefore it's just white.

Here is her carousel. Naturally she picked a purple. Who knew how super cute a plastic cup, sliver pipe cleaner, and a paper horse could be?










Lastly is her guitar. While the older kids made a guitar out of tissue boxes and rubber bands the little kids made these guitars. They are cut from cardboard in the shape of a guitar and have yarn as the strings. Sue sue (the teacher) said the older kids were teasing her "guitars".
She said The older kids were making fun of her cutouts and telling her "That doesn't even look like a guitar at all". But when the little ones saw they had their own special project, they didn't care the exact shape, they loved it. Even after they colored it and stung it, the little kids thought they were so much fun and kept "playing" and "strumming" their guitars.
They had more fun with the yarn guitars then the older ones did with the tissue box ones.
