Selena missed church yesterday from her cold and the fact she couldn’t settle in and go to sleep Saturday night until 10:00. Papa wasn’t feeling real well either so he did not mind staying home with her.
When I got home I felt a craft was in good need for a restless little girl. I had her go find a sock that none of us wear. She appeared with an old sock slipper that use to be mine, that I had given her for play. We found a couple of googlie eyes. With markers Selena sat forth to decorate her sock puppet when she announced was a dinosaur.
What would a craft be without a snack to go with it. She even made sure her sock pocket had a little bite too.
Since it is a dinosaur, she then had to attack hoppy, the dog and anything else she could find that the dinosaur would want to eat. We tried to tell her to make it a nice dinosaur, but she insisted that it had to eat these things because he liked it. She cracks me up sometimes with her imagination.
It's a nice sock dinosaur. Maybe that's what I should do with the two million slipper socks I get every year. Each kid gives me at least 2. It's kinda crazy.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to make some kind of sock puppet with the kids for the longest time, but we never seem to get to it!
ReplyDeleteDad and C both have colds - I'm hoping the baby avoids it! I hope you are all feeling better.
Cute dinosaur! I hope everyone is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteSock puppets are the best for quick entertainment. I love her dinosaur!
ReplyDeleteHope she is feeling better. Great sick day craft.
ReplyDeleteWe had a sock craft in the library once - Anna really had fun with it. Sorry that Selena is not feeling well - hopefully the cold won't last long.
ReplyDeleteWe've been wanting to make some puppets, seeing this reminded me. Hope she feels better soon.
