Precious Jewels

We spent one day last week organizing colorful widgets for a craft workshop:

 

{about a million teeny-tiny beads}

  

{super-cute animal beads from here}

  

{and a rainbow assortmant of cut up straws}

 

Apparently, Jack was inspired by this beadazzling bounty. He set to work for hours (no understatement) making baubles and bangles for his lucky mama. Good fine-motor fun.

Look at how serious he is about pushing those little widgets on to pipe cleaners.

And check out his toe-curling concentration.

 

Sweet, sweet stuff.

Have you gotten any sweet somethings from your little ones lately? Please share!

that just makes me think about kids wearing shoes all day in (public) school...we can't see their toes, and don't know when they're curled
but you are so right about the concentration

My little one is almost old enough to enjoy these sorts of things. Without eating the beads, that is. ;) So looking forward to it!
