My preschooler has stopped taking his naps. It's a sad day. Also I know that 4 years old is way past napping age but hey I was enjoying every minute of it. Since we now have a couple hours a day to spend just N and mommy while little brother naps I've been looking for simple things for us to do together. I still want it to be relaxing quiet time but without always turning on the TV and I also want to be able to have some "me time" if needed.
We've been setting out all our Spring stuff and I found a few things at Target (because #mommylovestarget) that looked like they would be a nice afternoon project for N.
Garden Holder
-Wooden Garden Fence
-Glitter glue sticks
-Felt flower stickers
Total cost: $5
I got all the supplies for this project in the dollar section. N got to place everything where he wanted and squeezed those glitter glue sticks dry. Not sure what I'll use it for yet but it was sweet to watch him be so into it and make sure his stickers and glue were just right.
So proud of his work!
Flower Wreath $5
This was one of those pre-packaged crafts they sell at Target. It was a simple busy work type project but he loves peeling the stickers and placing them in the right spot. This is the type of craft that I set it all out for him on the table and did the cleaning I needed to get done for the day. I placed the picture of from the package in front of him and he went to town. I may have passed off my perfectionist attitude on to him, he was pretty exact with the flower placement. But his face shows how proud of his work he is!
Hopefully naptime stays a peaceful time in our house for a few more years, at least until little starts not napping- then it's all over I'm sure! Two boys together are not always peaceful.
