I had such a great response to my I am NOT a Supermom post a couple of weeks ago, that I thought I would share something my six year old reminded me of last week: It is fun to make crafts with kids, but it really doesn't matter how they turn out.
The other day, my son came up with a craft all on his own. {See above.} He asked me for the supplies he needed, and he went to work. He was super-proud of the Valentine decoration he came up with.
Craft/projects don't have to be difficult or fancy. The point of doing projects with kids is: to spend time together and to let them be creative.
I LOVE when my kids teach me important lessons. :-)
Brilliant! We all need that reminder from time to time!
ReplyDeleteThe main thing is that they have fun.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more. The experience of making something, the sensation of using your hands to create, and the confidence of having and idea and carrying it out - much more important than Martha Stewart-level perfection!
