Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic #1: Classic Fire Truck

We went to Lowe's on Saturday morning to participate in the monthly Build & Grow clinic. This month the project was building a classic firetruck. All of the kids except Tina participated. So, 6 kids were building and it was me, Chris, and Tina helping them. They even got a cute little patch. They wore their basic AHG uniform since they had an event to go to immediately after.

Crafts....

The kids were completely devastated that we missed the Build and Grow Workshop at Lowe's one week. Charlee was even in tears! So, in an effort to make amends with them, we bought them some crafts to work on at home. I know they weren't the same as using a hammer to build something, but we tried. Tina and Carly did them as well, but I never got a picture of them. Yet, anyway.

On Day #1 we took foam circles and decorated them with foam shapes.

On Day #2, we were supposed to be making animal key chains out of beads. Well, ditsy Mommy here couldn't figure them out. So, we made the animal shapes on foam circles.

On Day #3, we made key chains out of beads. Caitie and Charlee made {close to} identical ones. And on Day #4, we made name bracelets.
