Here is a fun, little project to do when you have a backyard full of sticks (and sadly, no snow).
What you need:
- an assortment of small twigs
- hot glue gun
- twine/string/yarn...
- scissors
Peter (disinterested in making a snowflake) inquired about the glue gun as he created a little bunker and kept careful watch with gun in hand...
"Mom, what is this?"
"It's a glue gun."
"A GUN that shoots glue!?!"
"Hot glue, actually."
"Whoa... do they use these in wars?"
"No, mostly just for crafts"
Still amazed... "Daddy must have taught you how to use this gun!" : )
my Korinne will LOVE this project!
ReplyDeleteAnd, again, our BOYS would get along so well :)
Happy Snow-y, Sticky-y Day to you!

ReplyDeleteLove the comments! With boys, it's guns. With my girls, especially Zoe, it's all about princesses and marrying a prince. Blah!
