She is Crafty!

I realized that I have not posted anything lately about Hailey's craft skills.

For her birthday Gramma Linda and Grampa George gave her an art desk that stores all of her craft supplies and converts from a desk into an easel. (this was the second type as the first one had a chalk board that you couldn't use and she was not a fan of just standing). I have to say that this is the BEST art desk/easel out there and Hailey just loves it. She does crafts often throughout the week and it is set up in a way that she is very capable of being able to initate it all by herself which is her most favorite part of anything.

Her most favorite craft projects are stickering in her books, drawing, water colors, and glueing "cuts" (sheets of construction paper that I cut up for her in all stores of colors) to a sheet of paper.

On Wednesday she drew her first circle and made sure I knew it. Here is a picture of her circle, there are many others but I made sure to draw an arrow to the "first" one. She was so excited that she started jumping and clapping and said "mommy, I drew a circle, YEAH!"

This morning we painted with water colors and glued "cuts".

About a year ago I got her a notebook that she could color and do crafts in that would show the progression of her art, it is so fun to see how it has come along in a year from her first skills to her current skills. It tends to be alot of stickering but she is very particular about where these stickers are placed.
