MORE FROM OUR DAY AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE

OH THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

This week at Child's Play Challenge Blog the storybook challenge was Dr. Seuss "Oh, the places you'll go!".  I had these fun photos of my son crawling through the arteries into the heart over at the Franklin Institute and thought they would be just perfect for this challenge!

COLORFUL FUN!

My challenge for today utilizes sketch #219 from Creative Scrappers, was inspired by a Beach Ball from Child's Play Challenges and a recipe from Colorful Creations.  My photos are of my youngest son doing one of the challenges at The Franklin Institute.  He was so determined to keep up.
