So, my good intentions for posting more often? Ha! I need to 1. Get supplies together for projects; 2. get B to DO the projects; and 3. remember to take pictures of said projects. So, it's slow going. B gets excited about "projects" but loses interest pretty quickly. Nevertheless he gets excited about seeing his completed works hanging in the breakfast nook, so I guess we'll keep plugging away.
We did manage to complete a few fall themed crafts easy enough for a two-year-old-boy and his Mama who is always. holding. the. baby. (right now? He's sleeping on me.) in the the last month.
First we made a paper plate pumpkin.
B painted a paper plate orange with a foam brush. Fingers would work too, but he doesn't seem to like being dirty. Every time he got paint on his fingers he had to go wash his hands (wiping them off wasn't enough).
He's been excited to use scissors, although he hasn't quite gotten cutting in different directions so he usually just cuts in and then tears off.
He used a glue stick attach his "face." I cut out a brown stem and stapled it to the top so that you could tell it was supposed to be a pumpkin :)
We're working on some projects with leaves and a fall sensory box which I think/hope will interest him longer than the crafts.
