Crafting with Carter!

Yesterday my son Carter told me he wanted to do an art project, so I thought it was the perfect time to do something I've been wanting to do for ages (but of course keep forgetting) - I told him about the Children's Challenge Corner!

Children's Challenge Corner

The current challenge for kids is to make a card with animals. Carter loves animals more than just about anything, so it was perfect! I pulled out a bunch of his supplies - paper, ink, an old stamp set that's now part of HIS stash, scissors, markers, glue - and encouraged him to create whatever he felt like making. Here he is hard at work:


After a while he got really sick of me asking him to look at the camera...


And here's his finished card!


I suggested he write "hello" on it, and then we could mail it to someone. He decided to add "Carter" because writing your own name is about the most fun thing there is when you're four! And as for the mailing - sadly he's just like his mommy, he opted to hoard the card. It's now hanging on his bedroom wall! Which is cool, actually - shows he's proud of it. :-)

Big thanks to Julie, Emma, Anna, Ethan, Aaron & Owen for giving us this fun challenge to do! We love your blog - such a wonderful idea.
