Egg Carton Creativity

We have a stack of egg cartons with our toys.  We finish off a dozen eggs and the carton goes on the stack.  A carton rips, it goes to recycling or the burn pile.  Friends need cartons for eggs, we pass sone along.  Such is the circle of life of the egg cartons in our house.

The stash with the toys has been part of many hours of imaginary play for GGirl.  They are great for constructing cities and towers.  They make great trains and cars. The uses are only limited by the imagination of a 4-year-old.

This morning after I put MMan down for a nap, I was invited to campfire-complete with logs to sit on and imaginary sticks with marshmallows!

Learning Color Blending

I made some of my favorite Chocolate Sugar Cookies this week for friends.  When it came time to glaze them, I decided to do some color blending with GGirl.  Out came the food coloring and the wide eyed excitement of watching one color turn into another.  The impressionist rainbow cookies turned out pretty cool too!
