If I Have to Play Stickers One More Time Today...

I keep thinking that I need to step things up when playing with Sophia and do something other than just playing with her toys over and over again. But I always seem to lack the time and creativity to do something different. Today I came across a wonderful website that provides a newsletter of crafty things to do with your toddler with each week focusing on a particular theme. This week its all about food. The ideas seem very doable for a two-year old (and a craft challenged mom) and don't seem to require massive amounts of craft supplies, so I have signed us up for next week's letter. Let's see if we can squeeze some of these ideas into our busy schedule!

Ooh awesome link, I'm checking it out too!! Even if I can't do them now with my daughter, I'm positive they'll come in very handy when I can! :)

How exactly do you play stickers?

An update: It seems that sticker mania has subsided. We are now fully absorbed in "Momis" (that's Thomas the Tank Engine to you and me).

Beth: Playing stickers involves holding the sticker book so Sophia can take the stickers out, locating the page the sticker belongs on, being a willing recipient and allowing Sophia to stick stickers on each of your fingers, the tops of your hands, and occasionally your face. It involves combating your anal retentiveness and allowing Sophia to stick the stickers on the wrong page and resisting the urge to straighten the stickers so the match up with the outline of the sticker. All quite taxing stuff...
