i bought this scalloped-edge cHiPBoaRD bOOk about a year ago for $1 at a craft store. it has sat in my craft cabinet ever since. also in there gathering dust was a pack of $1 number flashcards.
i had a massive headache and just needed some good aRT tHeRaPY...
throw them together with some glue, markers,
and quality moMMa-buDDy aRt tiME and this is what you get.
Bear loves the book and has been "reading" it to whoever will listen.
here's the finished product:

I absolutely LOVE THIS! I am working on numbers right now with my preschooler and this would be perfect! I'm so glad I clicked over here from Kissed by a Frog. Newest follower and can't wait to explore more of your blog!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll stop by my blog to say hello and follow back if you'd like to. :)
Aww! Very cute idea! And I love seeing your little boy doing crafts! People keep asking me what I'm going to do with my son because I'm so into art & crafting, but I don't see why a boy can't be! They can be just as creative and have fun with that stuff too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up your great project! I'm also your newest follower!!
