It’s all in the tools: M and B wanted to see the versamark watercolor ink show up under chalks, use stamps, and try tearing a paper edge. If they have novel tools, they will make anything. They really do like to make things, but the question is, will I wait out their warm up period graciously, and remember not to give them a choice in the matter (TV, baking or outside play always trumps crafts if they have a choice)
Someday I will have lots of time to play with my paper crafting stuff. It will happen. It did before when the babies got older. I’ve even knitted since then (the boys had a habit of throwing themselves on my lap without looking to see if I had anything sharp there. That kind of put knitting, crochet and handwork on hold for a while)
