Art and crafts used to be part of our everyday doings, but somehow that has tapered off of late. I've been wanting to get that going again, ideally by planning simple things for the girls to dive into during the tired, cranky period after school and before dinner. During my stint reshelving books in the school library Tuesday morning, I spied two Ed Emberley books: Ed Emberley's Fingerprint Drawing Book and Ed Emberley's Great Thumbprint Drawing Book. This afternoon, I put out some heavy-duty paper, 7 coloured stamp pads, a smock (watch out for those ink pads!) and thin markers. The girls were fully absorbed in the fun for nearly two hours. Highly recommended project!
