I live with the Destructive Duo: a toddler demolition team! Little Mr. Two is 3 years old, and Little Mr. Three is 21 months. I've shown some of their handiwork before. But if anyone out there knows a magic way to keep a house clean when you've got two whirlwind-wrecking-balls-disguised-as-cute-little-boys that charm you even as they tear your house apart...I'm open to suggestions.
And while we're on the topic of my kiddos, since we were snowed in last Thursday, I decided to take a tip from this lovely lady, and make a special snow day breakfast. The kids loved the novelty of having snowman-shaped pancakes, and it set a fun and creative tone for the rest of the day.
To burn some of that creative energy, I helped the kiddos make their own "stained glass" windows. This is a super easy craft that even older kids enjoy. Just get yourself some clear contact paper. (Easily found at stores such as Target or Walmart). Cut two pieces that are the same size. Take the backing off of the first piece and tape it (sticky side out) to a window. Let the kids rip pieces of colored tissue and place them on the contact paper. Once they are pleased with their creation, remove the back from the second piece of contact paper, and use it to "sandwich" the tissue in between by placing the sticky side down. VOILA! You can also cut these into shapes such as hearts for Valentine's Day and so on. So easy and so fun!
