  2. These are so cute. I'm going to share them with my cousin who is the mom of a 2year old, and is raising him alone at the moment because Daddy has been deployed. Plus, I might do some of them in my house for the two-year old in me. :-)

    1. Your cousin can take up time in the days (I'm sure they are long if she is alone) with crafts like this. I also like them because it brings my son's energy down and helps him focus. He normally runs around like a mad man. :)

      Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you here again.
