We love glue!

One of the kids' favorite activities is gluing.  I stocked up when school supplies were on sale, and Little Man has definitely made a dent in the stash.  Here's an example of his work:

Truthfully, many of his projects get thrown away because the giant mound of glue makes the paper quite soggy (I've since learned to use cardboard whenever possible).

 C, on the other hand, is more methodical.  Googly eyes always add to the fun.


One day, I cut paper into several small shapes and we made collages.  I even made two (top left and bottom right).  I like how C stacked the triangles from largest to smallest so made a flower in a similar manner.


Meanwhile, S practiced his cutting skills and made a million bits of paper.  Sorry, no photo to share.  He loves scissors, though.  It took quite awhile for him to learn how to use them (6 months???) but now he is so good that the other day he cut his hair. I can't even say that he was stealth about it--I was sitting right next to him!  I leaned down to pick up paper from the floor, sat back up and he had a giant pile of white hair on his shoulder.  As one of my mom friends said (after her daughter and C both went through similar hair cutting episodes last winter) "I guess you just aren't living life without a messed up hair cut". I know I've had a few at the hands of my sister! :)
