Barnyard Animals in a Box

A package from Grandma Golby arrived in our mailbox last week. And in it, a barnyard's worth of animals!

We love packages from Grandma Golby, and this one was no exception. She sent a marvelous little Martha Stewart kit our way, with balloons and crepe paper pieces (stickers attached!) to make a pig, chicken, goat, cow, and other little farm critters.

Kathleen and Madeline loved making the animals. Although they needed help to peel the backs off the stickers, they were more than happy to place the pieces. (We'll admit to helping so that the animals looked like animals.) The girls were so proud of their creations!

The animals have been getting a lot of play -- the girls pretend with them, carry them around, and bat them about. We've been making the animals just one or two at a time, so we have more still to make. And that's a good thing, because the girls just beg for more!

Thank you, Grandma Golby!
