Morning Craft
I’ll be honest. Despite my creative nature I’m not really one for craft. Especially when it involves children. Craft + children = mess. Kin + mess = stressed to the point of rocking in the corner with a glass (or 3) of wine.
Ergo, craft + children + Kin = not happening.
But on Sunday I came up with a brilliant plan. Miss Moo’s formula tins. She’s just finished her first one (long story on the breastfeeding) and rather than throw it out, I got the girls, but M&M specifically, to choose a couple of her favourite pictures from daycare. Daddy cut them to size and Kiki & M&M helped him with the stickytape to stick them to the tin. 5 minutes tops, happy kids, no mess = happy Mum.
As an added bonus this is now a pencil storage tin. Kiki has dibs on the next formula container, and my mother-in-law is also hankering for a couple.

Wow, what a great idea for a craft project! Also a great way to display kids art!
That is a great idea.
We always had more formula tins knocking about the house than I knew what to do with.
Thanks Bridget. We have another tin as of this morning so I guess tomorrow will be another craft day. Kiki bought home another pile of art yesterday.
Marita I never know what to do with the damn things, but after 3 kids I’m starting to get some ideas. Hmmm, that gives me an idea for a post…
Formula tins are handy for SOOOOOOOOOO many things!
Looks great
