This week's project is : Egg Cartons
My boys had a really fun time making alligators. One reason they liked it was we pulled out the paint (which is a rare treat indeed.) Another thing that made it fun was the alligators were thought-up and designed by my 5-year old. Being short on creativity myself, I was trying to convince him to make the standard (but cute!) caterpillar. He did not like that idea so I told him to come up with one himself - and he sure did.
"Googley eyes" always made things more fun too!

Those are really cute. Great job!
We did the standard caterpillar. I agree with you though... it didn't matter what we were making... the paint was the highlight! :)
Great alligators! Kids are so creative!
One thing I discovered with this project is that I am very short on craft supplies. No googly eyes for example! I'll have to go shopping.
I love the alligators. They are very creative indeed!
I'm glad your boys had fun.
Great idea. If only I ever had some egg cartons around here I would suggest Hermione made some for the bug party she is hoping to have next month to celebrate her birthday.
I try to hold back on the paint too. Soooo much mess!
The alligators are cute!
I didn't break out the paint, but I did give the kids free reign over the other supplies, which they loved.
Very cool! I like those colorful friendly alligators! They had a great idea.
GREAT creativity!! Wish we had egg cartons, just for crafting!
