Raindrops on roses...

and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens...these are a few of my favorite things. This is a fun, super simple craft for you and your child to do together.

Just gather several magazines you have around the house, a pair of blunt-edges scissors, and some glue. With your child, flip through the magazine and find things that they love. My daughter LOVES our yellow lab, so as soon as she saw a puppy dog that looked just like him, she wanted to cut that out. Some of the others I helped with :) But she knew when she saw jewelry, or apple juice, that she wanted to clip those, too. Each time we cut out a picture we glued it down right away - this helped keep her interested. When we had a good amount on the paper, I cut out letters to spell her name and let her glue those down at the top of the page. Then I wrote in marker "favorite things," and we hung it on the fridge for display.
