A Bird’s Book of Colors
What’s your favorite color? The bird and I love the color blue. Slade is known for his love of the color green. And MeeBoo? Well it is too soon to tell. This morning the bird and I worked on a color book that was really fun to make and it turned out super cute. This idea came from a new craft blog called The Hybrid Kid, you can download her templates for a nominal charge. Today though we cheated and came up with our own version. The Hybrid Kid version is a lot more cute. I took 5 brown paper lunch bags and folded them in half and stapled them. Then we cut out our different color squares and glued them to each page. Then we took some old magazines that Slade finished reading and cut out pictures that corresponded with each color we were representing. We added some animal stickers and made paper tags. It kept us busy for about an hour.

I love that you have a different approach of incorporating all your finds into your blog and hoping that others will share too! Kudos! and don’t give up even when you think no one is reading, I read your blog today for about 30 min. Love it!
