I couldn’t keep the girls out of it for long, though.  We eagerly dove in and took out the Constellation Frame.

Unfortunately winter hit just before we did this – and gray skies don’t help the paper turn dark so we’re still waiting on our finished product 🙁  To ease the girls disappointment, pulled out the crayons and colored the pages provided.

They wanted their pictures to be perfect.  Tongues were bitten in concentration to stay in the lines and make things pretty.  Molly decided to make the moon picture she was drawing red like sand, so I suggested that maybe she was coloring it as Mars instead of the moon – setting off a whole new slew of questions.

I used to think about home-schooling, but always worried I’d have no clue where to begin.  I wish I’d known about the BabbaBox then.  A monthly delivery, always with a theme and relevant projects?  With help like this, I might have had more courage to try.
