My son, who is four, loves crafting, too. He has been &#8220;helping&#8221; me before he could walk. \u00a0He started out with crayons and playdough and has graduated up to using kids scissors, mama&#8217;s paper punches, and gluing lots of cool stuff. \u00a0In fact, when you see one of my hybrid posts in the galleries, you can be assured that J was sitting right next to me working on his masterpieces.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"create\" src=\"http:\/\/i635.photobucket.com\/albums\/uu74\/MamaBee_Photos\/webpost_create.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"319\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo uses All These Photos8 by Janet Phillips and Craftpoolza by Fee Jardine and Shawna Clingerman, at Sweet Shoppe Designs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So what does J have in his crafting box? \u00a0<em>Note: Please craft together&#8230; and if you have a kiddo who likes to lick things, you might want to watch small items that could be mistaken for food. <\/em>\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kid&#8217;s safe scissors<\/li>\n<li>White glue and glue sticks<\/li>\n<li>Glitter glue &#8211; not sure why they call it &#8220;glue&#8221; it doesn&#8217;t stick&#8230; lol!<\/li>\n<li>Fun 3D elements &#8211; feathers, googlie eyes, rhinestones, yarn and ribbon pieces, and felt shapes<\/li>\n<li>Stickers &#8211; paper and foam stickers<\/li>\n<li>Scrap papers &#8211; from my paper scrapping days<\/li>\n<li>Crayons, Markers, Paints<\/li>\n<li>Stamps and Stamp pad &#8211; also from my paper scrapping days<\/li>\n<li>Pictures and letters cut out of magazines<\/li>\n<li>Punches &#8211; borrowed from me, the squeezed handled ones works best for J<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even with all the cool supplies, he still prefers to draw letters most of the time&#8230; lol!
