My kids always always always loved stickers. We’ve owned more stickers than most.
we love to use “googley eyes!” and tissue paper is great for a lot of things as well!
Arts and crafts is done at the kitchen table.
I feel so prepared. I have everything on the list for crafts today :) Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jen! COOL site here. I LOVE lists!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s great to ‘meet’ you. Be sure to check out my ‘other’ (regular) blog, too.
Lists are such a great topic for a blog! I adore lists. They’re great organizing tools because they prevent you from reinventing the wheel each time.
And they’re great for little details that (I find) are easy to forget. I have a list of items that should go through the dishwasher every once in a while but that I rarely think of unless I see the list, which is posted inside the cabinet above the dishwasher.
I let my kids work right at the kitchen table- so they are in the middle of whatever I am doing. I would add- that I often toss “scraps” into our Arts and crafts box- and the kids amaze with how they repurpose it. Stuff like- odd buttons, scraps of ribbons and wrapping paper, cool stamps off of mail, scraps of tin foil, empty toilet paper rolls, twistie ties, you get the idea…
