Craft with a Two Year Old

I decided I better document Rae's porcupines so that we can see how our future father's day crafts have progressed through the years. She painted these styrofoam half balls and the little golf tees and she thought that was so fun. I didn't take a picture of her painting because I had to do some serious supervising to teach her how we use paints. Don't dump out the paint, don't mix the colors, use the brush not your fingers... We let the paint dry and then she stuck the golf tees in. Took a lot of concentration and soon when she picked up a stick she would say "not the face!" because I kept stopping her from sticking them in the face. She made one for daddy and one for grandpa (pa-pas). 

Here's one of them finished after I already wrapped up the other one. Looks a little scary but for working with a two year old its not that bad, just think what I could come up with with a three year old! (I did the face of course, needed to at least give grandpa a hint that it was something that had a face) Its a porcupine or hedge hog if you still can't tell!! Maybe next year I can get the craft going sooner and we can send one off to Pennsylvania grandpa! 

Rae was crazy in sacrament meeting on father's day and Jeremy isn't very good support in the pull to be reverent. But then again, I did get out my phone to take a picture in sacrament meeting so maybe I shouldn't talk.  

actually can't say its the first time either- 

We went to Lauren's house for fathers day, Rae loves to "bounce" on the trampoline they have and here's a picture with Jeremy. It may frustrate me that he lets Rae do whatever she wants but she sure is crazy about him. Happy father's day!
