mini-wolverines

Cole wanted me to build him some claws. I have no idea where he comes up with some of his requests of me. I think this one was after watching the "Brother Bear" movie and he wanted to be able to climb walls and trees with his claws.

My mind started turning and I was envisioning how I could modify some of his gloves with wire. Then I realized I should use something that will bend when he inevitably takes a swipe at his sister.

I am learning too. I made a pair for Cora as well and she was standing there vigilantly to ensure that her claws were just as savage as Cole's.

Rawr.

Whaaaaaaa!

I wonder what the neighbors think seeing our children chase each other around the back yard with cardboard hands. But then, they are our neighbors and have seen us do far stranger things, this is just in keeping with our regular routine.

LOVE the claws! Gotta be creative, it is part of the gig right? My husband made a space ship for Darth Vadar to ride in out of a Cheez-it Box!
