Recipe For Disaster?

I'm not sure about other 4-month old boys, but I know one who does not care to do crafts at this stage in the game.  It breaks my heart because I love crafts.  I discovered all of this during the past weekend as we tried to make Valentine's Day cards using hand and foot prints.  My little man would tolerate paint on his foot (mainly because there was nothing he could do about it).  But he wouldn't cooperate with paint on the hand.  Every time I had his hand painted and ready to go, he would make a fist and not let up.  Between his grunting, drooling, and scrunched up eyebrows, the boy practically had me rolling on the ground with laughter.

Someone did NOT like having his hand painted.

From the bottom of our hearts to the tips of our toes, we love you!
 
 We love you with all our hearts!

But at the end of the day, I won and we made some pretty cute "amateur" Valentine's Day cards.  We plan to use them as decorations in a few weekends for a Valentine's luncheon we're hosting for the family.  I hope these inspire you to get crafty with your little ones.  Even if they don't turn out cute, you will still have a lot of laughs along the way.
