52 Create, my weekly creative output for 2011. As I wrote on Day 1, I’m doing a “Craftvent” calendar for my 2 year old daughter. Simply put, it’s an advent calendar filled with crafts, all home made, many will be joint projects so she gets some fun of making stuff as well.
Day 3 – Today we made some toy paper boats. I had the idea from reading an old Curious George book where he is supposed to deliver newspapers, but instead folds them into boats and floats them down the river… We had good fun playing with them in the sink, they lasted about a day with a few “drying out” periods, but eventually the water tore the paper apart. Might try it with magazines next time as the paper seems like it would hold up to water better.
