Tanner Creates

Every year our homeschool support group does a Hobby Share Day where various parents share a craft or hobby that interests them with a small group of children. This year's groups included cake decorating, electrical circuits, geocaching, crochet, pysanky, baking, origami and preschool.
For those of you that homeschool, this field trip is always the best attended of all the ones we offer in a year and one I highly recommend you try with your groups.

Anyways, back to our Hobby Share. Tanner decided to try his hand at cake decorating. The class lasted 90 minutes and they were practicing different techniques by decorating cupcakes. He learned how to write, outline a shape, make stars, leaves, and some type of flower. The highlight of the day was making a Westie. To quote Tanner, "My mum made me go through all the stress of making a dog. It was actually very interesting." He was feeling tired by the time they got to the dogs and was thinking about skipping it but I talked him into persevering. He was glad after! LOL

Here are a couple pictures of his creations:
