What happened when ..

..The Swine Scare hit all of us?

  • Schools and daycares got closed for a week
  • Mumma stayed at home (WFH) since Aryan needed someone around
  • After 2 days Aryan got pissed of in house arrest & got bored of his toys
  • And so Mumma decided to get crafty
  • And scratched her head and digged all the scrap
  • Thankfully we had left over birthday supplies at home



First one was this clown , the ball an ignored toy for 3 years , the eyes and nose were choclate wrappers, the mouth was cut from a torn face mask ..and cap ..you know that !



Aryan went in total crafty mood after the clown. For the first time ever he loved an organized activity , thanks to school or his boredom !! So he wanted to do more !


Then came the Octopus , mumma found it over the web long long back and the idea was stored in the hard disc on mumma's head. All we needed was a metal hanger some crepe paper strips and an old gift wrapper , used the reverse for eyes and mouth :P







As we were done with the octopus , he wanted to make all the animals he knew , so we made the fish next !! Looks horrible , but you know Mumma cannot be all that crafty in a single day and ofcourse mumma collected supplies for 2 crafts only and this was on the spot !!

After fish he wanted lion , doggie , girraffe and what not ..pacified him somehow.
The next day we made a necklace and he wanted to wear it to school like M (a girl in his class) :-P



P.S : All the ideas were inspired from here and there and so I owe no copyright on ideas.

wow that's some amazing craft work you both did !!!
I too am in craft mode, since I have not been sending my son to school due to some cases of H1N1 there. so friday is designated for craft (just like in school); last week we made a building, it became papa's office, then next day onwards it was our condo !!!
I am going to try that fish ...it is simple and stunning !!
