We love a nice Friday Crafternoon and Melted Crayon Pumpkins made it so. This is one for the bucket list.
It was wild to watch the melty mess swirl around our happy pumpkins. More Crayons was the chant.

It was a pleasure to be a part of Campus Canyon Elementary Schools Reflections workshops and art show. Last night as the “What Is Your Story” theme wove through the creative projects of K-8th graders works, the sky was doing some creating of its own.
Wows all around!
Kara is quite the entrepreneur. She started a buisness during our Girls Club meeting today making personalized jars for all!
It’s fun to see inspiration at work.
We’ve got a quick seasonal project we love- it’s fun too! Here’s Creating At Home Idea # 10 -Batty T.P. Rolls!
Although our example is your basic bat you can make your bat any way you choose based on the materials you find at home.To get started you’ll look for:
-A TP roll
-Pattered or solid paper to cover the roll and cut into wings if you want a colored or pattered bat
or a second TP roll to make into wings.
-Contrasting paper or an item you find at home to turn into fangs-use your imagination and be
silly.
-Googly eyes, buttons or a marker to give you bat night vision.
-lastly you’ll need tape, a stapler or glue to attach you parts together.
-Now it’s time to make!
With what you have chosen for a body you can use or make tube by rolling paper, tape or staple it, then cut a shallow U shape out of the top (we flattened our roll to do this.) Fold the wing piece (you’ll want to be sure whatever material you use it’s doubly wide, fold it over, then cut around the outer edge of your paper (keep the fold) to create your wing shape.
-Attach your wings with (tape or stapler) fastener.
-Add some fangs and eyes then your officially batty!
Do you see Cookie Monster too? I had heard somewhere that our eyes look for faces everywhere.
When Lola handed me her paint collage to put it out to dry, I saw Cookie Monster…
Found this word treasure on Pinterest and it reminded me of how much messy fun we like to have at CReATE!
Anita (2) gets an A for effort as she stays in the creative zone placing shiny trimmings on her painting just so. A for action, again and again. The beauty of creativity is the process in which it unfolds.
Found this little guy by our back door. Sharing a little love with you.
