Today JV wanted to do "projects". I found a cute candy cane craft at No Time For Flashcards. Since we were downstairs I simplified it a bit and here's what we got:
JV wasn't ready to stop gluing after finishing his candy cane so I gave him a gingerbread man pattern that was too small for another project, a couple pieces of left over scrapbooking paper, and the glue bottle.
Above: He is gluing a "hat" onto the Gingerbread man
Below: He is applying glue from each side of the table.
Next he wanted to play with his Lego's so we cleaned up the crafts and brought his box of Lego's downstairs. I set it up and then went to the computer to order Christmas presents. He was happily content for at least 20 minutes. I think it's safe to say his attention span is getting longer!
Nice work! This "baby" has a house.
Because he has been reluctant to take a bath lately, I persuaded him into the tub with colored shaving cream that he could paint the walls with.
He also painted his body.
"Yellow!"
Look at that focus.
Night night Tally the Elf!
