The girls wanted to make something for their summer craft homework.
I decided that turning some tops, would be fun.

If you look you can see my hands in there too.

This is Erika, only one pic of her, as Mizuki did not want to stand around and take pics.

Here are the results, not bad for the first time

They even work!
Tops are something that kids can to easily, and they can get the instant gratification of making them and using them all in one go.
We used colored markers to decorate them.
Cheers!
