something fun
You know when you get an idea on the brain and you just HAVE to make it, even though you have a million other things on the brain? I’m sure I can hear a resounding “YES!” and I haven’t even posted!
We were invited to a 2 year olds birthday party and with every gift I give, I want it to be thoughtful. The birthday boy is about to go on a 9 hour trip to Poland and I wanted to make him a “roll of fun” and some sanity time for his mother. I know that his attention span will be 10 minutes, but maybe my friend can bring it out every hour on the hour.
Obviously I included washable crayons and a pencil, characters to act out “Three Little Pigs”, and the best part- a car complete with a driving mat which will fit perfectly on the flip down table.
A few years ago, when I was waiting for a flight in LAX, I saw a genius mom roll out a car mat for her young son. He was happy for quite awhile and I was totally impressed. I know you can buy the mats somewhere, but I totally enjoyed painting my village. Plus I wanted to make a whole package for a busy 2 year old that fit all together.
I really MUST make something similar for my kids- they were so excited to give this gift, but I know secretly they wished they had one themselves. Love that kind of gift.
