I've been doing some crafts & kits with and without the boys.

Miniature felt food.



A National Geographic crystal-growing kit.



Some foam clay dinosaurs.

Your crystals look awesome! We did a similar kit but left the crystals in the water too long, and it got all ooky and disgusting. LOL

I love the wee food.

Thanks! The crystal kit was from a Michael's haul this summer but we finally cracked it open. Yeah, Minor yelled at me because I bumped it and a lot of the crystals fell off. They are deceptively fragile.

They are twee, no? Minor has a half-finished pop tart he's done.

I think that's where ours came from, too.

Oh, I bet that poptart is adorable. Why are tiny things so cute? LOL

So cool! I particularly like the crystals.

Thanks! That kit has been in the closet since summer but Minor cracked it open recently. Very cool but deceptively fragile. Like one bump and a lot of the crystals fell off :(

The felt ice cream look sooo cute!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thanks! Very twee, no?

I've always wanted to do one of those crystal growing things.

I love the stegosaurish beastie.

They were interesting! But note: much more fragile than they appear. One bump and a quarter of those crystals fell off the tree! But something interesting to keep the offspring occupied.

Thank you! The foam clay was the consistency of not so sticky Rice Krispie treats and you press the different colors to a skeleton provided.

Those are great crafts. I like them all, they're so different.

Thank you! My craft nook (for the boys) is bare now. I am thinking it's time to do a run. Probably tomorrow (Wednesday), errand day.

These are so cute and the spread in materials is splendid. I like the pretty coloured crystals. The dinosaurs are my favourite (shocking huh)?

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked them. The dinosaurs are fun!

I really like the colours and the textures of the dinosaurs - so unusual. And those ice creams are adorable ^___^

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

It was an usual substance. Soft and a bit sticky but not very sticky. Grainy texture but very malleable, too. The ice cream are very twee.
