Birds and Bugs

Our birdhouses, according to Anna, needed birdies.  So I bought a big bag of assorted pompoms and pulled out a few other supplies:

Ready for some crafty fun!

A little glue here, a little cutting there…

(Please excuse the post-swimming-lesson hair...)

…and we had fuzzy little googly-eyed birds!

Chirp, chirp!

And then we made some name caterpillars because gluing pompoms is kind of addictive.

This caterpillar is named "Anna".
All of our fuzzy creations.

After that, the girls went to town with glue, pompoms, googly eyes and construction paper.

Googly eyes are small, and glue is kind of runny...
Anna glued about 10 pairs of googly eyes to that paper!
A plethora of pompoms.

I think the message I need to take away from today’s project is that I need to go hit the back-to-school sales to stock up on more glue.  The girls love glue almost as much as paint.  Especially if it involves googly eyes!
