Crazy Hair Day


We had crazy hair day a while back and I am just now posting some pictures!  The kiddos had so much fun with this.  I think the most excited was Robert with his fish head.  We cut off the head of his broken water sprayer and attached it to his head with one of the girls stockings, and added a few scales with foam shapes.  And orange and red color too.



Rob at school with Winston, who got some color in his hair too.





I drew up our ideas for kid approval before we started anything, it sure helped save some time.




Geneve the pretty butterfly.  She had two foam shapes in her hair.  Can you believe these pictures were taken after the end of a school day!?!  Wow, the hair lasted.  We also attached butterfly wings to the top.  The wings were great because they were so light.




Me trying to draw out her design! 

Bella had ivy hair.  We attached pieces of ivy leaves to metal barrettes and clipped them to her hair.  Her favorite part was coloring her hair green and adding glitter.  We made a pink crown to top off the whole thing.  It was a little dollar store glitter one that I attached some flowers to the top and ivy and ribbon around the edges.  It turned out great and was light for her head.





Bella's drawing, I got a little crazy with the ivy!
  

Will didn't want in on all of the hair attachments.  I had some good ones for him too.  We tried and tried to convince him of some fun ideas, but all he wanted was some color... and just basic at that.   I did get a stencil out and sprayed some white stars on the back of the blue part of his hair, it actually looked like Captain America's shield.   Will thought it was ok.  He thought it was cool later on when he decided he like it.







  
I thought all this styling and coloring would take forever, but for four kiddos and one little one to paint up, it took about 45 minutes over and above our regular school day morning routine.  You all would have giggled watching us with me in my bathrobe spraying kids hair on the front porch early in the morning with black trash bags over their clothing!

PS - Even I got to wear the Pink crown...

Well, on to more updates!  I am very behind!  Up next, triple bunk bed goodness!
