how to entertain a four year old for pennies
I know millions of moms (well I don't know them personally) that can benefit from this information, maybe a few good dads too. It all came about quite by accident. My youngest has a bad ear infection. Dr. said it looked like hamburger ewww right? I am thinking this is bad. Anyways I go out and get a bag of cotton balls becuase the Dr. said that the longer the drops stay in her ear (and water and germs stay out) the better. So I discover that cotton balls are very inexpensive. You get a million for under a dollar. This girl spent the good part of the afternoon making all sorts of stuff from those cotton balls, paper and some glue. "this ones a sheep , this one is a cloudy day, ...and here is a fluffy cat" fun fun fun!

We managed "a couple of sick looking hand turkeys today!! But cotton balls!! Now there is an idea!!
Thanks for the tip!!
What a pretty girl and too bad about the ear infection. I actually remember how much those hurt! It doesn't take much to entertain young kids and it's good to see their creativity! My 2 kids loved blank paper and something to draw with. Now they both have degrees in art!
We, too, are fans of the inexpensive craft. ANd both of my kids love glue AND cottonballs. I think we're going to have some fun on the next rainy day!
Try drawing on piece of cardboard with glue..then let it dry...paint over the glued section with acrylic or paster paint...then lay a clean piece of paper on the top and rub the surface well while holding the paper so it doesn't move. Lift off from one end...and you have a nat print...they can make several from the same glued picture.
