Making a Water Cup

So, when Myles was over the other day, I let the boys decorate these little travel mugs. They had quite a bit of fun and made themselves lovely little mugs.... Myles did a little bit of work on his but then he was done in a few minutes. Lincoln spent quite a bit of time on his though... getting everything just right.

Lincoln's... he picked orange for his back-ground.

Myles... he picked yellow, and yes, I know it's upside down, but I took it from across the table

and I still haven't figured out how to rotate pictures in here...

First, Lincoln made a bunch of dots around his name...

Then he connected them....

He was quite into the whole decorating thing...

Stamping it with yellow and not too impressed that it didn't show up that well.

And even less impresssed with the orange.

Green and Black worked though!

Focus.

Making it just right.

Realizing that if you color with the felt pen half tilted it makes a thicker line.

The boys doing their work.

Whoops - dropped it!

Found it!

Putting stickers on the paper.

Love them stickers!

I don't know why he wanted me to take this picture - but he asked me too - so I did.

His peeking out face.

One final touch...

Ta Da!

All done! Look at how cool this turned out!

(some day I'm sure I'll learn how to rotate pictures.)

Testing the cup out! Yup, it works. 

The boys doing 'Cheers'!.

Definitely a project well done. They had a blast and both of them carried those cups around everywhere they went for the rest of the day! We may have to purchase some more and make some presents for cousins or other family.
