What does one do with children on a snowy day with school canceled and no money?? You make Valentines that you can't mail out anyway because the weather is so bad you can't go to the Post Office. ;)I knew I wanted to send out the V cards with Sterling's school pictures (OMGoodness, he could be the LifeTouch poster child) and a homemade touch would be the most economical choice. I was pondering construction paper, but eh. It doesn't have the quality I'm looking for in a card anymore. Fine for purely child-made projects, but not this time. Upon searching the depths of the art cupboard, I found origami paper and it grew from there...
On the inside I wrote, "Our Love For You Grows Everyday," and other variations on that theme. The train of thought for you to enjoy:
- Lets use some origami paper!
- Sterling; "I want to make some snowflakes, too!"
- Me: "Why don't you use this paper (holding up the blue scallop designed paper, only upside down from what you see in the picture) because it looks like water..."
- Sterling: "WHEN SNOWFLAKES MELT YOU GET WATER!!!"
- Sterling: "Actually, when you flip it, it looks like a farm field."
- That's when the plan came together...
Inspired by the paper and my clever child. Royal was just happy to draw on his nakedness and cut our scrap paper. Crafts are still require too much organization for him. One day...
