4H Cooking Class

One of the ladies in our group showed the girls how to make bread and gave them some ideas on different ways to use bread. The girls each got a HUGE chunk of bread dough and was able to try out some different ideas.

Here's a few that they came up with:

This is a turtle with raisins..and the braids were made by the girls. Cute, huh?

This is Hailey's tiny tiny tiny bread braid.

Hailey's snowflake

Aliya's tiny tiny tiny crescent roll (it is in front of the normal size roll)

Emily's pig

July 4th Shirts

Mmmm...the 4th of July kinda snuck up on me. Actually a lot of things are doing that nowadays. Haha!

It was like July 2nd and I realized that I had not thought of anything. We had made these spray paint tye dye shirts at girl's camp and I thought they would be perfect. The kids can help design and spray them.

We ended up making them on July 3rd - just in time!

I cut out their name and stars using my silhouette. I used contact paper - but you could also you vinyl. I let them apply the stickers and then we got to work spray painting. I should have taken pics - but I had my hands full with FOUR girls!!

Basically, you just scrunch up the t-shirt or twist the t-shirt and then spray paint. The kids loved making them..and here's what we ended up with.
Jeff was worried about how they would hold up to washing and in case you're wondering - they look great. Here's a picture of Calista & Hailey's shirts AFTER being washed.

Another 4-H Project

I have 2 words for you.....Mod Podge

I can't believe that some of these girls have not even heard of Modge Podge. haha! I use it all the time and it's so much fun.

I picked a pretty easy project for the girls. I found these wood frames for $1 at Michael's Craft Store..add some scrapbook paper and you're ready to go!!

Check out how cute they are:
