Since the weather has started getting cooler and we have not been able to play outside as much at night, I have started trying to do little crafts with Anna. I am very quickly running out of ideas since I have absolutely no creativity so I am going to have to purchase a book soon to get some new ideas. Anna is pretty into it and especially likes anything that involves glue sticks. She also currently LOVES to have her hands traced for some reason. So, the other night, we made the classic "turkeys made out of traced hands" that adorn the houses of small children across the country at this time of the year. While we were at it we also made a Native American headband for her to wear. Obviously I did the cutting but Anna helped with color selecting (hence the blue and orange turkeys) and almost couldn't contain her excitement when helping with the gluing. Here are our lovely masterpieces:
Anna was flying her turkeys around the house saying "Gobble, Gobble, Goooooo!"
I wanted her to show me both of them but she dropped the blue one and did this with the other one. As almost all of you who read this know, such is picture taking with an almost 2 year old!
"Hmmmm, needs a little adjusting...."
"Ahhh, fits great!"
More Native American turkey flying
This we made another night. I asked her what she wanted to make and she said a "Halloween Pumpkin". So, I cut out the pieces and had her glue it together. I thought she did pretty good!
