During spring break, I tried to do some fun crafts and activities with the kids. One of them was from an Explore & Learn book RJ and I purchased last year. We made these fruit out of newspaper, glue and paint. Then we weaved baskets to put it in. Originally, we tried to make a paper mache bowl to go with it, but the newspaper stuck to the mold so we weaved plan "B". It was a long process and the kids pooped out after the first or second coat of paint. I held onto everything with a determination to make them finish what they started. After weeks of looking at the fruit on the counter, I told them we could pass on the extra coats of paint but to do some detailing so we could take pictures and I could clear off my counter.
Hunter made an orange, strawberries, banana and a pear.
McKenna chose blueberries, a mango and a banana.
