ali had received some bendaroos (waxy, thin, colorful strips that can be molded into different shapes) for her birthday, and we decided to use them for one of our craft days.
there are instructions on how to create different flower arrangements, etc,
but after a few minutes i discovered the kids did not have the patience for structured creating...
and neither did i!
so i let them have at it:
things started off simple...
(the one tutorial i did follow...sort of...and gave to ali, who wasn't all that impressed!)
after awhile, ali and jax moved on to other things,
while sydney's creations started becoming more purposeful--
a ship,
a bracelet for mommy,
and she even made separate bouquets for her daddy and i during rest time.
these literally entertained her for hours!
thanks, aunt stacy!

We got some of these for Christmas and my kids loved them too. We didn't have much luck with the company's ideas either but they loved coming up with their own! Yay for hours of entertainment from wax strips :)
Glad you guys enjoyed them! Who knew waxy strings could be so much fun ;-)
I've never seen them before, but it's a fun idea. Love the ship!
how fun!
