We did quite a bit of crafting at the White House this past Thanksgiving weekend, as well as offsite at two different open kids' art studios. The the second one we visited, they had Do-A-Dot paint markers at a table with some snowmen cutouts and larger sheets of paper. The idea was to make wrapping paper, but the paper wasn't really of the wrapping paper weight, so Julie took to making snowflakes with it, and then do-a-dotting around them to make greeting cards, all of which made her realize snow flake making season was also upon us. And that realization led to the attendant realization that the White House has large expanses of floor just ripe for spreading craft paper, all of which meant that it was probably high time to invest in some Do-A-Dot paint markers of our very own. So she did, which is how Sunday afternoon found her making snowflakes which she and the bambini then do-a-dotted (or did a doodle-dot, as Clara would say) about them on the craft paper on the floor. (This was when Ted was at Target purchasing their Christmas presents!) The bambini passed the Do-A-Dot markers back and forth like there were eight thousand of them instead of just eight. All was calm and all was bright. And now we have stained glass colored snow flakes to hang up on the back doors. It's the craft project that keeps on giving, Fans!
