Since I am hosting a Valentines party play date tomorrow, I decided
that Trent and I should work on some decorations while Hunter napped.
I thought it might be fun to do a construction paper chain in pink,
red, white and purple. Trent really got into it and I think the
results were really good. All I did was cut the paper in half lengthwise and then cut horizontal
strips that were about an inch thick. I then showed Trent how to make
a link and have it looped through another link. We used tape to
enclose the links. Between the two of us we got the chain done pretty
quickly. It would have been even faster if we hadn't had to go to
Trent's first ever dentist appointment. That went extremely well,
mostly because Trent is a good kid. Anyway, as you can see in the pictures, this activity completely
absorbed the kid and he focused all if his concentration on it.
