Making

Owen loves to make things. He's been trying his hand a bit at sewing lately. He's done quite a bit of tie dying with me. He loves to cut paper (into thousands of tiny bits!) and glue. He'll glue anything. We recently got some bees wax block crayons. They're supposed to encourage the use of lots of color instead of line. He was mildly interested the first time we used them, and a few days later, he asked to use them on an activity book we'd gotten at some restaurant or other. A few minutes later, I heard him saying, "red,red,red,red,red,red,red,red,red,reda,reda,reda,reda!" as he filled a whole page with red.
Here are a few things we made recently. The dyed baby blankets have all gone to their new babies except the spiral one.



The puff ball & google eye robot and the sock doll clown were for a friend's birthday. Owen selected the materials and helped some with the sewing of the doll and the robot was all on his own.
