Kids creations

Our kids have always been creative, but they seem to be even more so now.  Homeschool tends to draw out the creative side in kids since they have more time to spend creating.  Our time in the Philippines has given the kids even more time for creative ideas since they don't have any other activities to go to.  So let the creativity begin...

Cardboard, plastic, tape, and string are their supplies of choice.  Cardboard and plastic bags are free, and the tape and string are very cheap.  Amazing how such treasures can provide hours of enjoyment!

Kailee made a hot air balloon and made it fly with a fan underneath.  Ethan and Tyler made an airplane, hoping it would be able to fly...it didn't, but looks great hanging from the rafters in their room! Alyssum and Adams each made airplanes as well as small boxes that they decorated.  Ethan and Tyler also made a balloon/parachute.  They throw the parachute high, it unfolds, and gently floats back to the ground.
