Arts-n-Crafts

In the last few months, Carter has become increasingly interested in scissors. A result, I believe, of my frequent summer herb clipping. So, I found him a couple of pairs of kid-friendly (won't cut clothes, won't cut hair) scissors.

This weekend has been pretty gray and rainy, so we've been pulling out all the indoor stops. Since he's been getting better at cutting, I decided it was time to introduce Carter to... the glue stick. He very much enjoyed cutting and gluing, and was very proud of his masterpiece, as you can see.

What fun! And I am bringing him some STICKERS! He'l like those too, I think. (When does he get play dough?)

Oh, yes. He loves stickers. We're currently using Elmo stickers as a reward when he gets into his car seat without having to be asked 47 times. He'll be thrilled to be given stickers without having to do something to earn them!

He also gets playdoh on rainy days (that batch I orignally made still works!), but we went for paper crafts this weekend.

Oops. Sorry about the v's. I was having publishing issues but they seem resolved.

The artwork and the artist are both first class.
