Now we are getting primed for Christmas with our Nutcrackers set.  This set has two lovely nutcrackers to color any way you like.  I let my 8 year old pick the colors for me .  She was very excited and ran to get her hard cover picture book of The Nutcracker.  She found the colors in the story and I did my best to create him true to the picture she had selected.  I had to ad lib just a bit because my stamped nutcracker has a different uniform than my storybook nutcracker.  My 8 year old was pleased nonetheless.  That was a relief (if you have spent any time with 8 year olds you can appreciate how they tell it like it is)!

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Come on back tomorrow for more creativity!!!
