30 Days of Summer #2

Just a quick little project- I don't know if it even counts as one of the 30 (we'll see if I make my quota).  This is a great in-between-time craft.  Say you're making dinner and your three year old keep tugging at your leg while your wielding sharp knives and boiling liquids.  This is a perfect distraction craft.  

I asked Edward what he would like to decorate-giving him a few simple options.  We decided on a flower.  Again, the options were pretty limited - my free hand repertoire is what it is.  But, thinking back we could easily have used a picture from a magazine as well.  Maybe we will, as we have lots of left over pasta.  

The pasta was rescued from a floor dumping episode.  I donated some the three boxes littering my floor to Edward's preschool for the sensory table and kept a box set aside for impromptu crafts such as this.


 There you have it: glue, pasta, and something to slap it onto- viola a moment of peace at the stove.
