Being housebound with sick littles will make you get creative real quick. After two weeks of being stuck inside we decided to make Valentines yesterday out of the pads I use to remove my makeup. Everyone has seen the snowmen out of cotton balls so when I noticed these on the bathroom counter I thought why not.
So, we made a few for Grandma and Grandpa. I used a dot of hot glue on each of the circles and the eyes, and then drew the rest with crayon. When one of my little guys wanted to help I said, "sure" and handed him one of the circles with a dab of glue on it. Wouldn't you know he grabbed right where the glue was, got it stuck on his finger, started crying because of the heat, and as I removed it saw a tiny burn blister from the glue (of my low temp glue gun). Major mom fail! I thought being right next to him I could help him do it. Not so. Word to the wise, just let the kids stick to the coloring and taping on of suckers. Not worth a burn on a little one.
These don't have to be Valentines. They could just be snowmen, a and a fun art project to do with the kids anytime in the winter. I thought about going out for a walk to find small sticks for the arms and some type of buttons for the front of them but we had too much snow but that would have been fun too. Anyway, just thought we would share some of the product from our days of cabin fever.
