Hello and Welcome to my virtual table! Have a seat sip your coffee (or drink of your choice) while I share with you some of things that are happening on and around our table. Our table is so many times the 'happening place' at our house. We do so many things there. We color Easter eggs, decorate Christmas cookies, blow out birthday candles, do crafts, work on homework, share stories of our day at dinner, and so much more. We have laughed, cried and everything in between at the table.

crown craft

First I would like to apologize for the bad quality pictures. I took them with my phone and the sun was shining in the window so they came out blurry. Sitting at the table was as close to being still as I could get them so this is all we have for pictures this time.

Today's post is a fun and super simple craft. 
Things you'll need:
construction paper
scissors
crayons or markers
stickers or other things to put on your crown
tape or stapler

My oldest daughter did this with the kids and here is what she did. She let the kids pick a color of construction paper. Cut Down the middle of the paper long ways cut a zig zag line to create the points. The paper she used was left over stuff so in the pictures you see it isn't as tall as it would normally be. Then you take the 2 sides paper and staple or tape two the pieces together but only one end because it still needs to lay flat so they can decorate. 
Then let them decorate by coloring, sticking, and gluing until they are satisfied it's beautiful.
Then staple or glue it so that it's a circle. 
And you have a beautiful princess......
 and handsome prince! They even made a crown for their 'special friends'. (aka the animals they carry everywhere.)
We did this activity yesterday and they wore them all day yesterday. Then as soon as they woke up today they put them on. So I guess this activity was a success for them. In the future I will try to take better and more pictures of the work in progress.
