Yes, thats a hotdog butterfly.
I frequently cover our living room table with a large sheet of paper, tape it down, and then let L color on it throughout the day. It serves as a great whenever activity and a really great playdate activity.
Well today I gave him tons of cutouts from magazines that ive saved for random activities, a glue stick and crayons. First of all, coloring can sometimes get old fast for some kids, but gluing usually entices them to stick around longer. Well, thats in L's case anyway.
He glued all the cutouts on the paper and then he wanted me to color with him. He usually TELLS me what to color and when he told me to draw a dinosaur eating the cookie...I...tried.
don't laugh. I have no artistic skills whatsoever. Ok..I guess you can laugh.
L laughed too, but he loved it!
and then the requests kept coming...
a funny face
L standing on the ice cream
a food tree
and a butterfly, which I thought the hotdog would be perfect for.
L thought this was hilarious.
This entertained L for a loooong time. The laughs kept coming and he got to work on his pasting skills. Simple and fun entertainment.
