Dollhouse

Chris took the two boys to music lessons today leaving Seamus and I home for a couple of hours.  During their absence we found an activity that we thought we would try.  Honestly I don't know where it all started but when he googled "star wars crafts" we found a bunch of different homemade plush toys and ideas sprang from there.  Seamus was so excited and "filled with ideas" (his words) that he was almost buzzing.  The moment the boys walked in the door they were directed to his project of the day.  Eoin chose not to participate....but he did 'write' some of his story on the laptop and draw up some new characters.

Here is a pictorial journal of our late afternoon activities:

Collecting the supplies

The free form pattern we made up

Tracing the pattern in his new 'birthday' cap

Cutting out the pattern

My little tailor

Liam working on the eyes

Seamus finishes sew the outline together

Eoin working on his epic novel

Seamus just took charge and did it all on his own
