Wish I had the dimensions for this house to make this for our almost two year old Aurora. Looks like they used a large appliance box as the base. I would decorate it a lot more but the concept is great.

Build A Snowman Activity Tray

erfergTake a serving tray with separation and add things like buttons,small twigs,ribbons,sequins and other small findings. Have the circles cut out before you begin – as well as the hats. When you are ready bring your little ones to the table and let them design snowman’s – and it really does not cost much. Felt of the circles can be bought for $.25 cents each and twigs are free. Other findings you probably have in your craft storage.

Colored Pencils For A Garden Gate

Of course these are not real wood pencils but thick round doweling made to look like them. An artist would be proud to have these as their front gate!

Craft Paper Hanger

Make sure brackets go secuely into studs because a lot of force can be done by a small child when he/she pulls the paper down. You also might want to add an outside door rug in front to catch scribbles that would otherwise end on the floor – or if the child is slightly older maybe they might want to paint and it will catch drippings. What a great idea!
