Hi friends! Today I am co-hosting the Not Just a Mom link up with some of my favorite blogger ladies...
Adrienne @ Mom Life with Adrienne
If you haven't seen our posts before, they are lots of fun.
And today we are sharing how we get crafty!!! Now I am not the craftiest person out there, but I certainly do try. As I have shared previously, we have been incorporating Montessori methods of learning and parenting in our home. I posted about it here, if you're curious! While I drool over some other blogger Mom's set-ups and play rooms, it's just not feasible for us right now in our tiny apartment. We don't have the space nor do we have an unlimited budget for our activities. And Montessori materials and activities can be really expensive. More often than not, they are made of high quality materials- like wood- making them a bit pricey. I tried to pull out my crafty side and made our own activities at a much lower cost.
I also used a wooden dowel and a wooden circle with some hot glue to create this stacking activity. I was going to paint them but I love the minimalist look right now. I may change my mind- we'll see. This is similar to the bead threading activity and helps Ella with her fine motor and hand-eye coordination.
While I am definitely not the craftiest woman out there, I do like trying to make things myself when possible. My craftiness and creativity definitely comes out when I am trying to create activities for Ella.
Thanks for checking out my short post today, and be sure to join us next month.
In November we are going to talk about how we shop the holidays! Mommas love to shop!
Cute activities! I know you and Ella have so much fun together. Have a great week.
