Aiden Brings Home Magnificent School Crafts

Aiden brought home the first of (hopefully) many school crafts today: a paper tambourine.  It’s two paper plates, painted on the bottom of each and held together with staples.  It’s just a few strokes of color on each one, so I’m assuming that it was Aiden who painted it.  There are beans between the two plates, and then they’re stapled together at the edges.  It’s sorta like a big rattle without a stick.

Aiden's Amazing School Craft

This is Aiden’s first craft item.  We used to take Aiden in for social time at the Lincoln Center called “Mommy and Me”, and there were crafts there as well.  But those were mostly put together by the moms, like putting beads on a pipe cleaner or putting stickers on a cutout from a coloring book.  Cute for little kids to do, but Aiden was too young to get much out of it.  He’s got the hang of it now though.

I love his tambourine.  I want to glue a magnet to one side and stick it up on the fridge for the world to see forever.  Not sure how long such a thing will last though.  This is pretty much the first item that Aiden has crafted on his own.  He’s actually making something by himself that we can stick on the fridge and admire.  This is really pretty exciting!
