Dragons

 With Michaelmas, the feast of Saint Michael approaching it was time for a little dragon fun.  This craft was inspired by a tissue paper hat.  I drew a dragon and copied it on our school printer due to the amount of children I work with.  Then I cut up colorful tissue paper in small piece for an easy crumple.  Each child with free to color and dress up their dragon with crayons and tissue dots.  To make the tissue dot crumple the paper and lightly dip it into glue and let the magic unfold.

Apple so Red
How it went. It was really fun for the children they said they felt like their where wrapping pasta on a fork.  We made wonderful red apples and found the easiest way to tie them was take the whole bundle of yarn off the fork, find the middle and cut it in half, then lay it down on the table and use another piece of yarn to tie the middle tight.

Toa of Craft

A blog that I am finding wonderful ideas in is the Tao of Craft. Such a beautiful bright blog with so many different offerings. I made gnome houses with my children at school and got the idea here.  They were so simple to make and the children loved them. The photo that inspired me to make the houses with the children came from a camp that tao of craft's children went to at a Roaring Fork's Waldorf School The camp is called Camp Oginali. Enjoy.

Gnome Sailing

This is a wonderful and easy project that can all be made in a ziplock bag.  It is a little play mat that can be taken anywhere and easily rolled up for on the go fun.  I made two little blue sea people that sail the open seas in their little walnut boat.  Enjoy.
