For Aaron's birthday, my sister, Stacy, sent him the most AMAZING gift. Aaron is super creative and would rather color, draw, and create little projects than do most anything else. She knew that and catered to his creative needs.
Hands down, it was his favorite birthday gift last year.
She sent him this little organizer full of craft supplies. His OWN sharpie pen (he was thrilled), glue sticks for his glue gun (he's had his own since he was 4 years old), magnet tape, glue, googly eyes, ribbon, etc.
She also sent him a little jar of "energy food" which is now gone, but it was m&ms. He keeps telling me that he needs me to refill his energy food.
I kept noticing Kaylee using his craft tote. She created some pretty awesome little pictures and projects with it while he was at school. I didn't think he would appreciate that, so I made her one of her own. When he got home from school she said, "Mommy made one just right for me!"
I filled it with similar items and her own little "sharpie" because she wanted one :)
I added her name on the front just like Aaron's with pink vinyl. She loves it! Thanks Aunt Stacy!
Such a great idea!! I love the fact that your son had his own glue gun since he was 4!!

ReplyDeleteMy little crafty Kate would love this! She is always making something out of whatever is available...like mother, like daughter, I guess! I am hosting my first link party and would love for you to add this along with anything else you like! http://www.mom4realky.blogspot.com/2012/02/4-real-friday-link-party-1.html

Recycled baby food jars are my favorite upcycle item! I made a shelf in our garage to fit them and filled them with different screws, nails, washers, and bolts!I'd love to have you share this with our readers for our Fun Stuff Fridays link up! http://www.toysinthedryer.com/2012/02/fun-stuff-fridays-11.html
