We spent time in Victoria, Vancouver, and cross border in Seattle. This was an amazing inspiring experience.
The Royal BC Museum has an incredible collection of Native Exhibits!
It is easy to see why Xander was so inspired, all of us were for that matter!!
Breathtaking could describe pretty much the entire vacation!
Incredible!!
We set about gathering lots of books and materials, to create a North West Coastal Miniature Environment!
Painting a piece of card board for a base, and adding a sandy shoreline. This is craft sand and the wet paint holds it in place.
Sculpting Canoes
Finding a few great accessories to add in. This is a small totem from our trip.
Ava joined in on all of the fun!! She created her own paper plate environments (her choice) :)
Colouring Totem Poles for our Wood Houses
Xander worked hard to make most of the items he used in the environments. He collected many things from the yard including: rocks, sticks, sprigs from our evergreen trees to use as tiny trees.
We used the largest craft sticks to make the wood houses with (supervision and great care) a hot glue gun.
I cut the craft sticks with a pair of heavy kitchen scissors.
