I'm so glad we have this forum.

Does anyone think they can help this totally creativity-lacking person with projects as my little man continues to grow?

I'm being serious...I can't do any kind of craft or anything. My best friend can imagine things and put them together and it's amazing. I seemed to lack seeing it in my brain to do anything. For instance, I can do a paint-by-number fine! I can do cross stitch, etc., when they're clearly marked for me. That's about it.

I want to do good for my boy but don't even buy glue and popcycle sticks because I don't know what to do with them.

Help? He's four next month.

Nice artwork jo55

I love to draw and also write poetry, as well as doing anything creative. Both my sons are very musical and compose their own stuff, with the oldest a music major in jr year at college

kd, i am asure you'll get lots of help here with craft projects

my kids would come home with project assignments and have to "hands off!" me cuz I would try to take over

My son likes to make stuff out of seashells. Around here, you can get a huge bag for 5 bucks, glue is 1 buck. It's cheap entertainment!



Some of his 'work'.

Wood carving is what I do. I was doing it full time but about 2 years ago my poor little brain really slowed down . After surgery things are looking up and I'm trying to get back up to speed. It's slow going but I'm trying.

Thank you also, so much for the suggestions!

Ohhh!! I have a specific project coming up that I could soooooooo use ideas and help on. I'm so excited this is here!!!

I want to make my little man's room into an insect forest...walls, everything. He loves insects already and I so want to nurture that.

many crafts stores have rubber models of insects that you could use to make mobiles to hang from the ceiling, make drawer pulls out of, make hooks to hang stuff from etc. They also have insect stencils so you could use them to paint a border, or a chair rail border, or stencil the walls, a plain rug, plain curtains or the curtain shade. You could buy him an ant farm or stock and aquarium with crickets from the pet store. Look in the childrens section of a craft store and you'll find other insect inspired items. Also dollar stores have bug inspired toys in the toy section...kits to catch and study bugs...kits with butterfly nets to hang on the wall. You could get mosquito netting at a sports store to make curtains or some sort of canopy over the bed. Make a beehive shaped box with a flip lid to hold stuff or better yet see if a local beekeeper would sell you a regulation bee box to convert into a bookcase or toy box. try a local used book shop to find used book on bugs to display and for him to read. Does this start the ball rolling?

These are a few of the things I make. Oil paintings and carved clay wallhangings. I roll clay out, carve it and paint it, etc.

Note: We recently bought this 1930 house and are in the process of restoring it. We have most of the downstairs and stairwell completed BUT we have not touched the upstairs yet. The ribbon wallpaper you will see is not staying!!! ha.
