My son, B, who is 2, loves to make crafts that involve gluing. The funniest part is that he hates to get messy! I have to keep a wet paper towel next to us every time we make a craft, because if he gets any glue, paint, marker, or whatever on his hands, we have to wipe it off immediately to avoid a meltdown. Even with the mess, he still loves, loves, loves craft time.
There are only so many places I can hang up this artwork in our house, so I was trying to think of a way that he could make these crafts, but we could give them away. I thought, why not bring some joy to others! So, today, we made cards that involved a lot of gluing and stickers, B's 2 favorite things. Inside the cards, I am going to write nice quotes like, "There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all," and in the next few days we are going to take them to the local retirement home, in the hopes that they bring a smile to the faces of others.
Have a super day!
