I am not a great artist, but I do like to pick things up and just try things. This summer, I’m home with the kiddo, and finding ways to fill the time. Another great excuse for all this is that I’ve been sick at home, so I am crafting-in-quarantine. So far…
Playing with play dough. Working with play dough is good for fine motor skill and graded force exercises. Our store-bought Play-Doh is pretty dried out, so I looked up a recipe to use. I’ve tried a couple of other recipes, but I think this one might by my favorite.
I started with a ball and it turned into this. I was pretty excited about it. But again, just dinking around with the medium.
Poking around with felt. We play a video game at home called Wobbly Life. You play a character that looks like this. And throughout the game’s different areas of play you can access a wardrobe of clothes if you want to change the Wobbly’s outfit. Our Wobbly’s name is Toby, and my kid wanted to make a wardrobe for them. So here are a couple of styles I put together. I’m not a seamstress (If I were I’d have pants that were the right length), but I can at least use a needle and thread to make felt couture.
Stay tuned for more crafting adventure!
