SALTY SNOWMAN

by Karmen |

the rascals LOVE craft time

particularly

unchaperoned craft time

I must admit

though I love being crafty

the rascals craft time

in our homeschool schedule

isn’t what it should be

(shame on me)

so yesterday when this cutie said

 

 

“hey mom, can we make something today?”

what else could I say? what would you have said?

but

“sure, son.”

being a bit ill-prepared

but having years of

“fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants” experience as a first grade teacher

my thought trail went something like this:

winter. snow.? SNOWFLAKES..coffee filters? check. scissors? check.

then a snag

my four year old grasping

 

“do NOT cut on the fold”


UNcheck.

I quickly moved to

PLAN B:

SNOWMAN!

boring..

but

a SALTY SNOWMAN!

Cheapest craft EVER

draw whatever you like

the glue as the guide

a few dashes of salt and

TA-DA!

I’m Mighty Mouse’s snowwoman :O)

See my curly hair

 

love

a WIN-WIN

rascals got their craft

and

ding.ding.ding.

I WIN!

COOLEST mom of the day!
