Also, This Is The Elsa Wand

. . .  that Kate made 80% by herself.

I did the following:

1. taped painter's tape in a spiral around the dowel

2. helped her fold and cut out the snowflake

3. stuck contact paper on the snowflake

And Kate did everything else.

It appears that even my kids are beating me at Halloween costume-making. 

Well, ladidah.

I'm off to eat chocolate now. And listen to audiobooks. 

P.S. If you want to make a dowel wand like this, try this tutorial (minus the glowing wand-head).
