So, it's Talia's turn for "mini society". The kids make a liitle thing to sell for monopoly money, and then buy prizes with their earnings at an auction.
Since Kyle had this project, we've been making Skulls.
Both the boys cleaned up with a small skull and a "premium" one. Kyle made crystal versions for "Premium". Alec made larger models. Both boys really focused on trying to corner the market on other boys with 'cool' looking skulls, with only a few done in 'girl' colors.
Talia has been wanting to do this since Alec got his chance 4 years ago. She watched, noted what was selling, and had her own ideas even back then on what he should be doing.
Thus, she's been talking about it ALL YEAR, and the time is finally upon us.
Talia wanted to break from what the boys did. Specifically she wanted something a little more wide ranging in it's appeal, and target a much wider audience. "More cartoony" as she put it. Something that could more easily be pretty, and yet still be cool for the boys. She is not wanting to just have the boys rushing over
Thus we set out looking for the right ice cube trays months ago, and finally found them.
Because, really. Who DOESN'T want a fluorescing skull fridge magnet? (most my 'kids craft paints' are fluorescent paints I got on sale various places)
Still need to figure out a good sign for the "Talia's Tomb" store front.
She wants "Talia" in flowery letters, and "Tomb" in 'scary' letters.
