yarn doll

Samuel had a fever last night and was still recovering today, so I pretty much let him lounge in front of the TV all day. He did watch several episodes of vintage Reading Rainbow, so that counts as educational, right? Can't go wrong with LeVar! We also made a yarn doll, which was last week's Craft of the Week over at 4Real. Samuel had the idea to make it into a puppet, and I think that would work really well with 2 sticks in an X, and five strings - one from each end to a hand or foot, and one from the middle to the head. He then decided that he didn't want to do that to this one, though, so maybe we'll try it with another. It was a fun little project, and one that I think would work well in a group. We made ours with legs, but you could leave the bottom undone and it would be like a dress. Maybe we'll do some like that in white to be Christmas angels. Ooh, that would go great with Pascal and the Kitchen Angels! I'll have to remember that. :)
