In my family, I tend to be the creative one…you know, the one who’s into crafts and baking, knitting and sewing; sometimes even sketching or painting. My sisters’ hobbies definitely don’t wander to the crafty, and although my Mom once made me a lovely painted piggy-bank at a ceramics class, and she often sewed and knit things for us, I don’t think she’d classify herself as crafty either.
My kids, on the other hand, think that “making a craft” is just about the best activity ever. Yesterday my oldest daughter and I went for a “nature walk” and she collected some flowers for a bouquet. She also picked up some pine cones, snail shells, twigs and other items. Then she asked me to get her some pom-poms, googly eyes, pipe cleaners and feathers. Today while I was out shopping I picked up the requested supplies, and she set to work to create a woodland scene.
Here are some pictures of the Junior Urban Crafter at work!

How fun! She’s very talented and very cute.
WOW! That is amazing! Yeah, I definitely did not get the crafty gene.
