After writing last night's post about crafting from materials around the house, I gave the girls a challenge: Create Marian May Baskets beginning with the following supplies:
A humble plastic drinking cup
An individual-sized cereal box
Plastic yogurt cups
Tomato and strawberry baskets
Here are a few of the early results, each costing next to nothing to create. I plan on posting more details later tonight.
Given today's level of enthusiasm, I would say that we will be continuing this activity well past May 1st!
My dear, your girls have your talent! Absolutely beautiful!

Alice,
Wow! What clever (and frugal!) craft projects. I am scared to share this webpage with my Timothy (our child who makes up for my lack of craftiness) for fear that he will abandon the rest of his lessons today and come up with a way to emulate your family. But that wouldn't be so bad now, would it?!
