One of my kids' favorite things to do is sit at the kitchen table and color, play with play dough, cover things in stickers, make stamp collages, or just anything that involves creating things. This usually entertains them for hours a day. Claire especially loves play dough. She gets up in her chair and says "puuuush puuuush" as she flattens the blue, pink, and green lumps of dough.

Emily is a bit more refined in her crafts. She likes to do stamps the best I think. She'll color the stamps with markers and then stamp them all over her big art pad. She also likes stickers; you should see her lunch box! Today I sat her down with a bag of crayons and a coloring page with a fish. She had specifically requested to color a fish. She's gotten pretty good at coloring and I am usually amazed at what she comes up with, but today's output seemed particularly creative and vibrant to me, so here it is!
