diy / nature binoculars

materials:

- toilet paper or paper towel rolls

 cut the rolls to the size you'd like. cut a little piece for the middle part. paint the rolls. glue rolls together. cut a strip of felt to put around the edge. glue. punch holes in the rolls for the string. 

go on an adventure..if you have lots of extra toilet paper rolls, [here is another project]

 

 

 

naturally, we had to go on an adventure after making these. 

we looked for birds and collected sticks.

waterfall glen forest preserve

we took these cuties to [waterfall glen forest preserve] last thursday for a morning adventure. this little getaway is only about 30 minutes outside of chicago. sometimes every now and then you need some nature lovin.

thea and lincoln met when they were about 5 months old, (they are born a week apart) and have been friends ever since.

thank you [whitney] for my mini maternity waterfall photoshoot :)
