We actually didn't carve this until NOvEmBer! What can I say other than we got busy and just didn't make the time. It didn't matter to them though. They loved it regardless of when we did it!
Cutting and carving were their favorite, they each were able to use the little saws and carve whatever they wanted....the messy part just made them laugh and Lydia really didn't like it. She kept wanting to wash her hands.
