This entire past week we were around home....a lot. More than we had been for months. In some ways it was nice. In others, it was tough. Clara really did have a fever and cold most of the week, so although the weather cleared up and warmed a little, we were still a little confined to the house until Thursday. So we got crafty.
I'd seen this idea online and thought we'd give it a try....especially since we have an abundance of toilet paper tubes headed to the recycling bin each week. Make 'stamps' out of tubes and stamp away! James thought it was pretty cool!
Don't get too impressed yet...Clara shoved the brush in her mouth immediately after I snapped the picture. And I was the one who made most of the red smudges on her paper.
Then we broke out the pipe cleaners (also found the idea online) and a colander. James made quite the creation in the end.
Later I cut pipe cleaners in thirds and gave Clara an empty spice jar (with the shaker topper on still). She loved poking them into the holes on top. I was surprised she had the fine motor skills for that!
When all else fails, we head downstairs and build a "fort". This cheeseball was pretending to be asleep.
Throwing this one in for fun...Clara wearing James' Spiderman sunglasses. She thought she was SUPER cool and was just marching around with her legs spread apart.
