On Sunday nights, I help lead crafts at choir for Ollie.
Since when have there been crafts at choir, you ask?
Since we have to entertain 15- 20 wired 4-6 year olds for an hour. And since they don't quite care about singing for an hour without Dora, Thomas or the Wonder Pets leading them.
So we bring out our friend, the craft.
We've done some fun little activities lately. A while back we made this flower with leftover Valentine's Day hearts and leftover Halloween suckers. Last week we colored crosses on regular printing paper, then dabbed them with vegetable oil to "supposedly" make them like vellum- or see through like stained glass {no link because it really didn't work; I wouldn't recommend it.}. Tonight we made shamrock prints with potatoes and paint. {Can you tell I love Family Fun magazine? Their stuff really works.}
I always feel a need to tie it all in to something church related.
Flowers: Spring will be coming soon and God made all the seasons.
Cross: To hang it in your house to remember to think about Jesus during Lent.
Shamrocks: St. Patrick explained Christianity and the Holy Trinity to the people of Ireland using the 3 leaves of a Shamrock.
Something with a stick and cotton balls: God made everything in the earth- including that thing you just created.
See? Anything can be tied in.
But a while back, Ollie came home from another class at church with this craft:

Any ideas what it could be?
We have no clue, but it has provided a lot of conversation and entertainment in our home.
This came home past Christmas {Baby Jesus's prime time} and no where near summer {which might give some clarity to the shell}.
We don't know why Baby Jesus has a mohawk or a felt blanket {must get itchy- unlike my snuggie}.
Or why someone put Mohawk Baby Jesus in a shell {Nobody puts Baby in a corner shell!}.
What's your favorite piece of "art" you've seen lately?
