I don’t do a lot of crafts with the boys. They get plenty messy at mealtime – I don’t find it necessary to create additional messy moments. That’s what craft time is to me … mess time.
But the boys are always tickled when I pull out something crafty for them to do. One day this summer, I pulled out the finger paints for the three younger boys. They weren’t interested in using their fingers … they wanted brushes. I accommodated.
Billy made a color volcano. It turned out cool enough that I kept it. Now to figure out some way to display it.
