But this year we made the VERY best of ALL!!!
I am so proud to show off the fruits of our three day long labour (and the 5 days of clean up required now :)
AHAND ... this one is Trademark CZ and not some copy-cat craft mom found on one of the 1 million blogs she follows ... nahahaa ... this one grew in our own craft-yard
To make one of these AWESOME Activity/Nativity-Scenes one needs:
A big work space, covered and away from the rest of your house so you can mess it all up and then leave it for days at a time :)
We covered the old train table into the Lego / Puzzle / Craft - table and covered it with a big, plastic table cloth ...
You need loads of empty TP rolls (or do it like Lulu and unroll one if you can't find one - NOT kidding!)
Here you can see master-TP roll carpentry ... the soon-to-be crib for baby J
Lots of glitter, Sharpies, more glitter ...
... and some odds and ends evenly distributed all over the room/floor
A cool box from aunty Michelle's favorite Chinese Bakery (it helps to eat the goodies in it first :)
... and two willing craft-o-holics (shirts optional)
And then go crazy!!!!
Lulu made the STAR and decorated the back-drop with LOTS of glitter.
She also painted the angel (it was an old window ornament we still had from last year)
L in action ... topless na-course
A few green patches ...
Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus in their new pad
The sweet baby ...
Some bah-bah-white sheep and an AWESOME shepherd dog made by Lulu.
The gifts the Wise Men gave (jewels, spice and oil)
And some animals from the barn, curtesy of L.
Add a HUGE palm tree in the back ...
Et voila ... you have yourself an AWESOME (3 day activity) Nativity Scene
L wanted to blog about it on 1-2-3 but I stole it and posted it first
...whahahah
... evil blog-mother :)
