A box of wood scraps and a hot glue gun can keep 18 four year olds busy for 20 minutes and 13 three year olds busy for a full half an hour. The four year olds built little structures and I hot-glued them together. Only burned myself twice.
With the three year olds, i had to get them started, but pretty soon, they got into it. "Glue this here!" and "It needs a door here." Good thing I enjoy hot-gluing or I would've felt bossed around.
Cute though, right? Like little pixie houses. Only one kid got burned and I'm declaring it a learning experience. When I say "Don't touch that bubble of glue. It's reallllly hot." and the kid immediately jabs a finger into it, yelps, sticks it into her mouth, burns her lip, yelps again, then looks at me like its my fault? I'm not as sympathetic as I might be. Cuz it's pathetic enough without me.
Next week, we paint them.

These are wonderful. They remind me of the house structures in that print you have, the one by the same guy that did a book you gave me? I am closing in on describing what I am talking about--the one who has lots of fanciful fish? Oh, I will just point to your wall and say That One. I love these, and your photos are fine work. Jay
ReplyDeleteToo cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's also amazing that you got 13 three-year-olds to sit still long enough to make these creative beauties...
