Fleece, Felt and Frousins'

Earlier this week, Iria and Meghan both approached each other with the same crafty idea of making some capes from felt and fleece for the upcoming Halloween season and beyond. So we went over their house today and did just that. I snapped some photos, but the subject matter would prove to be a lot more interesting than any of my pictures. First up was some play time.










Prep work complete, the kids began to filter in and get to work.










Katharine made a flower cape, that was more abstract than realistic. We had to explain the word "abstract" to Katharine on the way home.


Liam made a rocket ship cape.


Lukas asked me to make a Spiderman cape for him.


Brian and Meghan collaborated with Aiden on a "cookie monster" inspired cape.


From top to bottom: Lennon's lightning bolt cape, Keira's flower cut-out cape and Nolan's lollipop cape. Keira has a bit of growing left to do before she will be able to wear hers...


Mission accomplished! We finished off with some dinner, more play, and then a movie on their cool new TV. Another fun evening with the Martels!
