One of the things Rachel also wanted was Saige's art kit.
For $50+ you got a bunch of doll sized fake art supplies. Well, for $6 and some time and effort, my husband and I made her her own REAL art kit. He used scrap wood and his woodworking skills and made the doll sized easel. I made doll sized sketch books out of real drawing paper.
Rachel can paint the picture and blank canvas herself. She can draw in the sketch books. Not only did we save a ton of money, but it's something she can actually use, not just sit and look at. I was thrilled with it.
And this is what the girls gave to Daddy.
I made them myself, inspired by the silhouettes my dad made for my mom one year of my brothers and me when we were kids. I'm pretty happy with Rachel's, not quite as thrilled with Rebecca's, since her mouth doesn't look quite right. But I still really like them.
