Brave Birthday Part II

I set up our front room for crafts. Our coffee table was the perfect size for the kids to gather around.

I had face paint setup to draw Celtic designs but after my first attempt at that I switched to easy cartoon animals instead, ha!  

 The kids got to choose their own tartan color for their shawl. Funny story, when I first brought the fabric home Johanna wanted nothing to do with it, I mean nothing. It was almost as if she was afraid of it. I figured once her party came she wouldn't mind it and would enjoy dressing up but sure enough when the time came she still wanted nothing to do with it! We joked if I had gotten a pink plaid she would have loved it.

JJ liked his :)

Then the kids got to practice their fine motor skills with necklace beading.

This part of the party was a huge hit. It was almost comical how quite the room got while everyone was busy concentrating on their hard work.

I had ordered some plastic bear claws (bears play a very big part in the movie). Unfortunately, they didn't come in time so only Johanna got to add the fancy bead to her necklace. I am going to have to bring them along to our next play date!

After arts and crafts Johanna and Etta ran upstairs to play in Johanna's room. I think it's the cutest and funniest thing that they are such good friends and love playing with each other all on their own. Kara followed them up to her room but Johanna quickly shoo'd her out telling her 'We're reading books, bye bye Tura!" all we could hear were their giggles coming from behind the door.
