So for the past few summers I have done a preschool summer camp but wasn't as motivated this year. I have some way cute summer activities: under the sea, fourth of July, watermelons etc. So of course Ryker is not that interested yet in my projects but he does love to paint and cut.
It is worth the 5 mins of cleaning when he will sit and cut for 30 or more mins. No joke. Yes I thought I would just let him get use to cutting. A great tip for all your soon to be preschoolers. Cutting takes lots of practice, first let them cut whatever, so they get use to the opening and shutting and holding the paper. Then drawn a thick line and tell them to try and stay on the line. When they master that move on to wavy lines, curvy lines etc. They will be cutting like pros in no time. (well it does take a few weeks) =)
If anyone has bored kids I have LOTS of summer crafts. If anyone is interested I'm willing to post some ideas. Or you can just come on over =)

SO! When are you guys coming? Kyla would sit and cut for hours, I am just hoping it never gets to her hair!
Oh man, Ryker will be an expert in no time! Hey, did you get my text or message? Just wondering if you want to do something tomorrow. Let me know!
I would love some ideas. I almost bought a book with activities today for Ashlyn. She still loves to cut as you know!! I guess I just need to get some worksheets. She found one from preschool in her drawing drawer the other day, and was SO EXCITED..."Mom, I HAVE to do my HOMEWORK!" Thanks again for all you taught her.
