My children like to craft. They like to paint. They like to design. So, here are some of the things going on.
First here, we have Miss A playing with nails and rubber bands. Is there a name for that toy? Anyway, it's from Grandma and Grandpa L and she really enjoys finding all the different shapes she can make.
Next we have Miss A and Miss E painting their dollar world wood things. Miss A chose a star and Miss E chose a bird house. Messy and cute.
So, Miss A painting while Miss E was sleeping. When E woke up, she saw the remains, of the paint. I let her go to town with the paint. It was on the table, the chair, the arm, the face, the tongue, and a little on the paper. After that, I let the girls play with slime (borax, glue and water). The mess really warranted a spray down with the hose, but it was getting chilly outside. So we resorted to a sink bath. They thought I was the best mom in the world for that. I thought so too.
I should point out that the two painting projects were done on different days. I'm not totally insane.

You are such a great mom for letting your kids be crafters! I super duper struggle with it, and have definitely put out the crafting flame in a couple of my kids already. Sad.
I just read your "Individuality" post that is no longer listed on here. I LOVED IT!!!! One of my favorites. I have had similar thoughts, but never put them all together like you did. It is such an interesting idea - wanting to be different, just like everyone else who wants to be different.
(I'm beginning to have little patience with your first example, the city dwellers. I read a few blogs of city people and I always wonder, "Have you not met the 10 million other people who are living the exact same life that you are?")
I appreciate that your oldest is using the dish scrubber on her pits. Excellent.
