You call that a craft?

We live in an troubling time; a time of crafting.  Abby loves them to the point of obsession.  I buy them, we make them, and then I have to find another one.  Try as I might to keep up with her desire for new crafts, I can't.  I can be creative and think up a new craft, however I am all out.  I have a craft book, but let's face it, I am not just that crafty.  Because my sassy Abby will not go without (she just won't let go), here is what I have done:

Our recent craft was cutting up my old magazines to create collages.  The collages were strange mixes of dresses and make ads from my Instyle magazines and animals from the Zoo-bles magazine that the kids get.  Here is what the couch looked like after the craft.  The picture does not do the mess justice.  


The next "craft" was a gift from Nana and Pawdad that I passed off as a craft.  The gift included lots of pieces that you can make into strange little figures.  Enjoy the new craft, girls!


The final craft is jello.  Yes, this can be a craft.  Turns out, this one had the added benefit of being edible.  All the mixing and stirring felt very craft like to Abby.  Score!


Next weekend is coming and I am fresh out.  Please send me craft ideas as soon as you can, or I will be left to trying to sell cleaning the windows as a craft.

Clay? Play dough? These can be reused, which is a plus. I have a boy...so I'm lucky. But these are things my mom uses to keep him occupied for hours. Especially the clay.
