Craft Day

Lizzy and I had a craft day today, thanks to 1-2-3! Textured Products. We LOVE crafts around here and anytime we need something to fill up our day, I dig into the craft drawers. Today, we tried out the Freckles the Ladybug Textured Craft Kit.

I don't have any pictures of us making the Ladybug because we were too busy gluing the fun little textured pieces to the ladybug cutout. The 1-2-3! Textured Products come with a cutout and textures pieces (like paper, beads, and confetti) to place on the cutout.

These products are perfect for little preschoolers and helps to develope fine motor skills and the feeling for different shapes and textures. Each kit comes in a handy, portable package. I was a little frustrated at the difficulty of opening each little package for the textured pieces, but that's just me. :)

Our finished project. I think it'll make a good "Grandparent's gift." Lizzy loved making this craft. I don't know that I would buy these just for our home as I could do this with things we already have for less. I do think that these projects would be good for group activities like daycares, Sunday schools, etc. The individual packaging would probably help keep things under control and less messy!

And..... just for fun, this is what happens when silly Mommy gives Lily chocolate pudding to snack on while she writes a product review....

Disclosure: I recieved one of the Textured Product Kits for review purposes. All opinions are my own (and maybe Lizzy's too)
