Evolution of a Bananapiller

Every month Isaac gets a magazine from Focus on the Family called Clubhouse Jr. Each issue has a craft project for the kids to do. Last month we made frog so we wouldn't "frog-et" to pray. This month's issue had a bananapiller. So Rick bought the suppplies and Isaac and Rick made a bananapiller. Of course the best thing about the banapiller was that is was tasty. It was a healthy snack, except for the Oreo Stix for legs. It actually called for pretzel legs, but we forgot to get them.





Here is Rick starting to form the bananapiller's body.



And here he is cutting the apple that is for the body, too.




It's starting to come together.







This is one of my favs- working hand by hand.





The body and eyes are together. Isaac put the eyes on (after he ate a few).







And, wahla- here is Mr. Bananapiller!!






Isaac was so excited and was ready to eat it.






I just love Isaac's open mouth smiles.

Wendy, I just smiled and smiled at your post. What a cute little creation and I also like the photo showing daddy and son's hands in the same photo. Just wonderful!

I like the substitution of the oreo sticks...maybe mm's for eyes? Sorry I am on a chocolate kick.....
