Papa Chuck heard good reviews for Frog and Toad at the Rose Theater in Omaha and told Grandma Cindy to call up Luca for a play date (hehe). It was very well done, we had a wonderful time!
Luca surprised me by wanting to meet the actors and get their autographs. (That is Jennifer, who in addition to a bird, was also a squirrel, young Frog, and a turtle. Frog is sitting next to her. They were so good!)
Paper Mache: A long, long, project is finally finished! We saw paper mache animal heads in the Land of Nod catalog and both Luca and I were smitten. However, Land of Nod is not as affordable as it is beautiful and Luca really wanted a horse which wasn't a choice so we googled "paper mache" and called Noah over for a few fabulous craft days.
Luca helped crumple newspaper and tape them into random lumps until we had a decent horse face appearing. Court's only contribution to this part was the crumpling. He's a talented crumpler. Ready for the messy part!
My hands were too sticky to get many pictures of the flour-paste portion of the project but here is Court putting the first coat on his lizard. He was very excited about this process and followed directions well.
On to paint- Luca liked the stripes and shapes in our inspiration so I used painter's tape until we had designs she approved of and then she thoughtfully applied the three colors she chose.
