More Crazy hair Days!!!

These are a little late, from earlier this school year.  We had fun this year with Crazy hair day.  Geneve wanted to have a tree in her hair so this is what we came up with!  She was so funny, she wanted me to add a tire swing and birds as well.  I told her I thought this was enough... she makes it so fun! 
Here are some pictures...

In case you were wondering, we used a real branch to form the hair around, it made it much more realistic. There is a foam shape at the top of her head - this makes things really light, and the branch was stuck into this making it really sturdy. I hot glued leaves to hair clips and that helped keep things attached. Also, the ends of each branch we used those teeny plastic hair bands to attach the braided end, that made everything stay as well. And brown and black spray paint here and there. The only problem was the real branch would break when I played with it too much. I stuck in skewers in spots I had broken. Using a plastic branch may have worked better, but this lasted all day, so this was fine. The leaves on the clips also made it easy to attach to her clothing, making it look like the leaves were falling down. It may look like it was complicated, but it was actually so easy, using the branch made it form quickly. She already came up with what she wants for next year, she is too funny!

 

This is the funniest picture of her at her desk working away...

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!
