Recently my mother gave Alden a craft book from the 1940s she found at a thrift store. He is completely obsessed with it and we've made a craft every day since we got it. We've made a peanut doll, a blanket fort, a shoe box train, and a floating soap boat. He grabs the book before bed every night and goes through it to find a craft for the next day. He's gotten so excited about them now that I have to take the book away in order for him to go to sleep! I'm so happy he's taken an interest in reading, crafting, and following directions!
Today's craft was the Floating Soap Boat (complete with little Pirates mad out of corks & toothpicks) we took it outside to his pool and he played for a long time. I was surprised how well the soap held up (I've never used pure soap before) but he had it in there for over an hour and it was still completely intact when we came back in!
