Artsy Mardi (Tuesday)

Today as craft project, we made stuffed fishes!!
Mona really really really enjoyed this one...
First we cut out the shapes of the fish from colored papers (4 shapes for front and back of two fishes).
Then we let our creativity run wild.... Mona loved drawing (scribbling) on the fish while I colored the other side. I love watching Mona CREATE!!! The way her face is concentrating and her little brain thinking about how to and what to draw next. Her little hands and her unique way of holding her crayons and pens as they move to make lines, circles, zig zags and now sun!!
It's all just fascinating to me...

Anyway.. back to the fish making...
We then glued the fish together and add some stuffing with old pieces of teared newspaper and closed the fish, then we added ribbon and hung them on the door frame!!
We did one multi-colored fish and one sparkly fish!!
And since Mona really enjoyed this craft activity, i think i will use it for Baha'i Class (Tender Seedlings), on the Story of Baha'u'llah, you know the dream His father had with the fishes in the sea...
I cant wait till Saturday to make more little fishies with the tots... lol
Here are some pics of our fishes and of Mona being goofy!!
