Think:
I just had to share with you 5 year old Pink's homework that was due today. They sent them home with the blank canvas of a snowman to go home and decorate, by themselves!
These kind of projects are killer for me. You know me, I want to take over and sew the guy a tipple pleat skirt with my pleater foot attachment, along with embroider little eyes and nose at the top.
I let her do everything!! Even adding the band-aid to the side, since it got hurt in her backpack on the way home.
I was pretty proud when she found the mini cupcake paper liner and folded it in half and said "Hey mom look it is a fan!"
It was then I stood up in the kitchen and did the Tiger Woods celebration move (right arm in air, then pull it down close to body, fingers in a fist) Yep, she has got the clever bug too. If I could pass on anything to my little pinks it would be to see a spatula in the kitchen and then find a new creative use for it.

Good job on letting her do the project by herself! That is something I would have a hard time doing as well! It turned out cute anyway! Any ideas for a school valentine box? I'm planning on letting my son do the project but I'd like to steer him in a direction(if you know what I mean) He is only 5.

Hey, last year Hailey got to decorate a snowman with her family over Christmas Break. We used dried fruits and mini marshmallows and cut up magazine faces and buttons to decorate ours. I just love how yours turned out!
