Isaiah is all about glue these days! He loves how it oozes out of the bottle and makes a big blob of white goo - the bigger the blob, the better! Finding something to put over the glue isn't always easy; some days I have to be creative.
One day, I was scrounging for something, anything. In the past, I have used old spices from the kitchen cupboard, buttons, yarn, sticks, pasta - basically anything that will stick has been considered and used. This time, I had some rolls of colored, plastic, non-stick tape (that's the best way I can describe it). It is something I had purchased a few years ago for my husband's kites - found at a surplus store to aid in giving his kite a tail. Barely ever used, it was now going to come in handy to help make a glue-lovers day!
I took strands of the plastic and cut out rectangles, triangles, and squares. He then proceeded to place them on his coloring book pages - great! Mission accomplished!
For a creative twist, I had just used up a roll of paper towels the night before and decided to save the cardboard tube for Isaiah's creative pleasures. I first had him color the tube, and then with my assistance, I helped him take some of the different sized strips and apply them to the tube.
Instantly, before his eyes, the tube turned into a fascinating rocket (one of his recent, favorite phenomenons)!
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for human masters"
Colossians 3:23
