Pulling out nearly every craft supply I could find, I folded a hat out of newsprint and gave it to E. to decorate with stickers, paper, glue, and stamps. (I don't do glitter.)
A. decided to take a break from being snotty and miserable to try her hand at markers and fingerpaints.
For a blissful 30 minutes both children were happy and content. Thank goodness markers are non-toxic! They are... right?
When she declared her hat a masterpiece - actually, her exact words were "Mom, I'm too tired to do this anymore" - E. proudly placed it on her head along with some 2010 glasses I so brilliantly crafted.
To make the glasses, I simply printed out 2010 in large, bold print and cut out the numbers. Then I taped them together and tied a pipe cleaner cut in half to the 0's. Took me all of 3 minutes, but E. was thrilled.

And that I'm completely mystified that she sits and cooperates during craft time at her age. Give us tips on that in one of your little segments because that sort of thing didn't happen around here until Bp was much older. I'm hoping to have a better run the next go 'round. haha
