Arts and Crafts

Today was “Juffenfeest” (teacher’s party). Some of the teacher’s birthdays are quite close together and the Juffenfeest was a celebration of a couple of them. The children got to wear dress up clothes to school. Tobias wore his knight suit and sword, and was quite excited about it…

Also, they each made a flower for their teacher. Tobias had done that yesterday with Lisa. Apparently he enjoyed it so much that he wanted to do some Arts and Crafts today as well. Usually he does such things in his room at his desk, but today he wanted to do it together at the dinner table. He went up and got his arts and crafts box. We were busy for quite some time. He made a flower, a man on a gate, some men in cars (a ball on a piece of paper… might just as well have been an eye…). I made a flower and a swing set. Together we made a car, for Opa, so he can put it up in his office .

It is so much fun to watch him working on something like that. He gets so into it and so concentrated. I love it.

PS: That IS a perfume bottle in the picture, we sprayed it on pretty much everything, including the flower for the teacher…
