Shadow Craft

When I was young my mom did all sorts of fun stuff with us. One thing that she did that I remember, and LOVED was that she traced our "shadows" on butcher paper and we got to decorate them.
I decided to do that with the boys for a craft one hot summer day last week.
We traced each of them, amidst a lot of laughing because it tickled.
The boys did such a great job and fun doing it.


Palmer needed to get something high up and this was stepping stool.
Lincoln is such a cute brother. They actually all do this for each other. The do love each other! Or they think it is fun, one or the other.
Palmer's finished product.
Lincoln drew his with soccer cleats.


But we finally had our shadows!

Cleats and all.
The boys wanted to hang them up somewhere to scare Josh when he got home. We decided to hang them from the light.

And McKay was just happy to be there.

I just tried this with my littlest and she wasn't into it until we traced her dads shadow next to hers then it was a hit!
