PS, if you are a family member, you may want to skip those posts. This likely won't be an everyday post, but I hope the little ideas we share throughout the coming days (and possibly weeks, depending on what we have time for.) help inspire you! You can read or watch President Uchtdorf's message here. Uchtdorf speak at the First Presidency Christmas Devotional on Sunday December 2nd. My plan for his gifts was only solidified when I heard President Deiter F. In each post I'll leave you a summary including how much time he spent on it and how much time I had to spend on it, and various other key details you may want to take into consideration (besides the actual tutorial details, of course.)įurthermore, since I'm sure this isn't a foreign concept to you crafty chicks, I'm opening up a link party so you can share your ideas for kid's Christmas creations - gifts and decorations alike! So look for that tomorrow. Also, the older the child, the more of each project he can do by himself, obviously. I understand that not all kids have the same talents/interest levels, so a lot of these can be tweaked to fit your own child. So there you have an idea of what I was going for when he and I planned his gifts. We are on a time crunch until Christmas, AND his attention span is. * They must take little time - usually only an afternoon, no more than two. Not that I don't want to craft with my son, but I wanted him to be really proud of his achievements. * They must require very little of my attention and hands-on guidance. * They must come from the heart and be something that got bug excited. something I can pick up for no more than $2 or so.) * They must be made from things I have on-hand, or at the MOST very inexpensive craft ingredients (i.e. I don't really trust my 4 yr old with a stapler yet - I have memories of stapling my middle finger to a paper bag around that age.
Of course, the older the child, the less help needed from mom, which is nice. But this was perfect for bug who loves making up stories his passion for which is second only to his passion for drawing.
My 3 yr old would have very little patience for creating an entire story, even though she likes drawing. I think we did all four in about 40 minutes, drawings and writing included.Īppropriate Age Range - 4 yrs. It depends on how detailed he insists his stories be. Kid Time - anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 days if you don't set a time limit. I think these will be especially fun for his Grandparents in Utah who don't get to see him all the time - since it's a special story he created all by himself of something they did together. I can't decide which book is my favorite - we've got Grandma and Ezra and the Pirate, Oma and Ezra Visit the Zoo, Opa and Ezra and the Motorcycle and Grandpa and Ezra Show Their Art. (that was an awkward sentence, but I'm too tired to change it.)
