Inspired Arts and Crafts

 
The kids are really enjoying the new Apologia Science Notebooks to go with their textbooks.They offer wonderful cut out minibooks and other learning sheets about the lessons that are fun to use.Something about using a pair of scissors and some glue sent their creative juices into overdrive!
 
Sam was inspired to create a mask for his sister. Maybe it was the cooler air or the few leaves that have fallen from the trees that encouraged him to put the gorilla mask on.
 
She dressed up to match it.By now I knew that my school day was veering slightly off course. Or was it?

 
John was inspired to make his own teepee which turned out well. It was great to see them making things and taking some time out to be creative!
