Meet Henriette and Adrienne.


These two French girls Henriette (left) and Adrienne (right) were made by my girls during our France Spring Fun Days during Spring break. We started these fun days last summer (aptly called Summer Fun Days), and each week the girls picked something that they wanted to learn about. Last summer we learned about China, Dinosaurs and the USA. So basically, I read them books about the subject, we make food, do crafts, songs, activities, etc... related to what we are studying. Studying is really not the appropriate word here, because they seriously love these weeks and are already counting the days until the next one: Rock and Roll. I do this with the kids because it is fun and it gives structure to our days during the summer. Here are some of the other things we did during France week:

They designed, built and painted a paper mache Eiffel tower for Henriette and Adrienne...

which was also a Polly Pocket boudoir for a period of time : )

We ate a delicious French breakfast of hot chocolate, croissants & jelly. On the first day we made crepes with nutella.
