Well over this past week, we finally started feeling more settled in our new home. Therefore I figured what better than to get kind of messy again and get out the arts and crafts bucket for B?? He loves his art time. He likes to color, and create, glue and make things, touch things etc. I thought with it being October and all what better to do than Halloween crafts....
So after work one day while B was still napping I set up his "invitation." I like to set things up on the kitchen table to see if he will take interest in it and want to do whatever activity I chose for that day.
He took it! We put faces on pumpkins to make Jack-O-Lanterns and we even made a not so scary vampire bat from a toilet paper roll :) He just had a ball. He loves to do things like that and I think it is good to let them be creative and even get a little messy! But even better than letting them do messy fun things.. Take part in the fun as well. Be there and let them show you, bounce ideas off of you and just show off their finished work with pride.
B hard at work
The finished products!!
So as you can see we didn't do anything spectacular!! It doesn't take much to make a two year old happy :) He loved that we got to work with pumpkins and that he got to use markers and glitter glue. So on days when its a little to cold to run errands or play outside in the leaves consider doing fun inside projects! Oh and tip of the day... I have learned putting anything on a Popsicle stick instantly makes it cool to a small child ( not the Jack-O-Lanterns) Hope you have a wonderful day!
