The city of Roseville

I like to save old cracker boxes, oatmeal canisters, capri sun boxes, juice cartons, etc. because they're great imagination tools. This morning we decided to make the city of Roseville. We took the old boxes and covered them with Butcher paper that I get at Sam's club just for coloring. Then I took an old sheet that doesn't fit any of our beds anymore and we colored a city on it with crayons.

Don't mind diaper boy. He got himself all wet playing outside in the water filled sandbox earlier this morning, hence no clothing.

The cookie lady

Using cookie dough that we colored in various vibrant shades, I let the kids create whatever kind of cookie shapes they want. This is what Kaitlyn created. She says it's a cheer leader.

This is one of our favorite activities. Just make up some sugar cookie dough, divide it into sections and color it. I did a post about this before; called "playdough cookies", but you don't really need a fancy recipe. Just a good sugar cookie recipe!
