Nicole....my DD loves to paint pottery too, but it is EXPENSIVE so we don't do it very often. Have you seen the clay that you bake? They have it at Target or Walmart and it cost about $10 for the pack, but it's a big pack with lots of different colors. Anyway, maybe they could make something and then you could bake it in the oven. My DD has made me tons of stuff like angels, butterflies, handprint, etc. Maybe they could do that one day. Also, another thing my DD LOVED to do at your girls' age is "dress up" and put on a play. I would videotape it and she would watch it over & over. Sometimes she would just dance or whatever. Would your girls like to do that? What's the weather like this week? Maybe they could take an old blanket outside and have a picnic/tea party with their stuffed animals or dolls? Or they could build an inside fort (in the den if you could stand it) and get inside and read books, have a snack, etc. DD also loved to make scrapbooks..... I'd just give her a bunch of old pictures and she'd glue or tape them on construction paper and add stickers and funny captions.<br><br>
And no, I'm NOT super mom. These are things I LOVED to do with my DD when she was younger (and before Noah). I don't do anything with Noah because I just can't get into the "boy" stuff.<img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">
