A Wild Hair...

 
 
 
 

Okay so it's really Where the Wild Things Are and it really was for a playdate, but I went crazy decorating! I was hosting a lunch pitch-in and everyone was told to bring a casserole. I was trying to come up with something for the kids to do for a craft and I thought that casseroles are sort of wild beasts and they could easily be seen as a bit scary so why not go for something like Where the Wild Things Are. So I found some vines at the dollar store and hung them from the ceiling since book said that is what happened in Max's room. I also put some trees up and made pictures of the scenes from the book. I drug out the Wild Things plushies and added them, too. It looked like a forest if you used your imagination. (Which leads me to an aside. I had decorated for this over the past week so that I wasn't rushed today and the owner of this house came by to do to an impromptu unannounced inspection this Thursday. I'm sure she thinks I am totally crazy!)

So for a craft I had the children all make and decorate a crown so that they could be Kings of the Wild Things. I also had them make a paper plate "wild thing" mask. They had a lot of fun. I heard a lot of roaring and screaming and squealing!
