Soap Carving

Pa carved a beautiful wood shelf for Ma, filled with flowers and vines. Today, we carved soap.
Materials:
-Soap
-Pencil (sharpened point, but one with the tip/lead broken off)We used small cookie cutters to outline shapes. Use the pencil to carve into the soap.
This would make a nice gift for Mother.

Pocket full of pebbles

The first time Mary and Laura went into town they were able to stop by the beach to walk along the shore. Laura thought all the stones were so pretty she filled her pocket so full that it torn her dress. We made some little pockets to add to our lapbook we have been working on and then we also painted some stones to make them beautiful.

Coloring and cutting out the pocket.
Sewing it together. We found these wonderful big plastic sewing needles that are great for the girls.
Next they painted their stones all different colors.

And then they added glitter to make them simmer just like the ones Laura found shimmering in the sun by the beach.
