She's got incredible talent!

Arts and crafts have gotten more complicated since when I was Kalea's age.

I thought the first arts and craft was going to involve putting colorful crystals into these outlined templates and then we'd bake them in the oven and they'd become beautiful stained glass Christmas ornaments. But as you'll see in this Flip, it actually turns out that you take this super, super sticky and stringy colorful and glittery goop and poke it into these tiny little areas in this ornament. Kalea's smaller fingers were much better suited for this art project!

According to the box, the second arts and craft project was supposed to be about painting these ceramic ornaments. Yet upon opening the box, it was quickly apparent that Kalea and I had to mix and make this plaster which we then poured into molds. Only after they dried (thankfully it dried in 15 minutes) did we paint them. And as you'll see Kalea did a beautiful job!
