Emma and I did several projects over the summer that ended up being a little bit too difficult for Chloe to fully participate like:
turning this
Into this
This is so simple to do. All you need is a good deal on a lamp, some cupcake holders, and some earring posts and backs (pack of 30 pieces at hobby lobby for $1.99), and spray paint. We spray painted our thrift store lamp ($1.49) and then turned the cupcake holders inside out and pinned them on the shade.. Easy Peesy... But, since it involved spray paint and sharp things, it was a little bit too old for Chloe.
So, I scouted out a few things that I could gear specifically for Chloe to do in the couple weeks we've had between Emma starting school and Chloe starting.
And, I came across this oh so cute "Very Hungry Caterpillar" on Pinterest and, after reading the story, I got to work on painting hands... When we finished the handprint caterpillar, Chloe commented that she wanted to make the butterfly too. And what do you know but the next time I went on Pinterest, a friend had posted a picture of a footprint butterfly... So low and behold
A complete metamorphosis!
