Hello crafters!
Of course I'm a big supporter of arts and crafts
for children. This little one is my granddaughter, Marie
and at this writing she is 2 yrs and 4 months old,
but she is already very crafty.
Last week I was lucky enough to have her
Last week I was lucky enough to have her
to myself for the whole day.
I wanted to do a project with her,
so I cut an egg carton in half and pulled out
the paints.
She was happy to be able to paint and do crafts
She was happy to be able to paint and do crafts
with G-Ma.
I covered her tray and a plate with plastic wrap,
this sure helps with the clean up.
She got to choose the colors and chose
She got to choose the colors and chose
a light and dark blue and black.
Then she got to work making her
caterpillar.
She took it very seriously and wanted
to do a nice job, which of course she did
and got high praise from G-Ma.
Spreading the paint over the entire plate
was also very nicely done.
A little bit of paint on the face never hurt either.
After her nap, she picked some eyes from my stash and
we glued them on and drew a smile with a crayon together.
We talked about the fact that a caterpillar makes it's own
house, called a chrysalis and grows into a beautiful
butterfly.
She was very excited to show Mommy and Daddy
what we made together.
Maybe next time we'll make some butterflies.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you'll come again
soon. Until then,
craft with a child.
