The Elf

This Christmas I had gotten so many fun crafts and activities for the kids to do that we had our elf come to visit us on December 1st.  Every morning he was in a new place and brought something for the kids to do.  Moon dough, always a favorite.

Frank, the elf hiding on a shelf.

The kids love to paint so we had quite a few painting projects.

 This was one of our favorites, you plant grass in Santa's head and then it looks like his hair is growing.  The kids loved checking their Santa each morning to see who's Santa was winning the hair growth race.

 This was also a fun new toy.  I found these washable frogs and the kids loved coloring on a real toy.  Hayden, however has now started coloring everything, I blame the frogs!

We decorated these snowflakes with glitter and hung them in our kitchen windows, I loved pulling up to the house and seeing all the kids creative work.

Hayden was hit or miss on the crafts, she did love painting though (she's in the right family!)  Here she is painting a Charlie Brown scene.

Frank, the elf, only had to stay away one night because the kids were naughty.  It gets to be a little much every morning to find the elf new spots to hide and get their crafts done each day but the kids are only going to be this little and this fun one time.  Soon enough all these fun crafts and activities are going to be lame, so I am milking it while I can!!!
