On Sunday Daddy wanted to do a little fun craft with the boys. As we are going through some of our stuff we bought home from Michigan Eric found a lot of these bead guys he use to make as a kid. We bought a little tub of these beads a while back but they have been just setting on a shelf.
The boys loved playing with Daddy's childhood guys so he broke out the tub to make some of their own choosing the colors they wanted. I could see this as being a big mess with all these hundreds of little beads. But Daddy did very well and was able to keep all the beads accounted for, I for one was very impressed.
When they were all done I ironed them so the beads would melt together. After the beads cooled the boys took them and started to play with them right away. They were so excited to have their own guys along with a sword and shield.
To no ones surprise Thomas' was pretty much all green, which he was quite proud of. Thomas has taken very good care of his. Sup on the other hand well he thinks it is more fun to tear all the heads off the guys. He has gotten some of Daddy's guys and I think the one he had made. Thomas has kept his safe so his still has his head.
It is kinds hard to see but they all are happily displaying their new guys for all to see :)
I remember those bead guys. tons of fun. :-) Although they often wanted them ironed right away at a time when I was often busy. But they had alot of fun with them. Glad to see the tradition continuing.
