When I visit the other Muffin Tin Monday blogs, I get to see some of the crafts they do as a part of a group called Tot School. They always look great and fit a theme each mom has picked for the week. Since I am focusing on lions and lambs this week, I thought I would have JDaniel make a lamb with cotton balls and a paper plate on Sunday night.
JDaniel was excited about doing a project. He carefully placed each cotton ball on the plate after I put a dab of glue on it. JDaniel rushed in the kitchen to show my husband when he was done. They hung it on the refrigerator in a prominent spot that was easy for him to see.
Monday morning the lamb was brought into the living room and placed on the coffee table. Then the shearing or plucking of the lamb began. JDaniel slowly pulled off all the cotton balls and placed them on the table. When he was finished, he walked away.
I asked him if he wanted to glue the cotton back on the plate. JDaniel told me, “No.” It was a fun and cute craft while it lasted.
I learned two lessons. One enjoys the process of making the craft. Two hang craft projects up high on the refrigerator.

hahahha! actually. this reminds me of when my sil tried to make a sheep costume. and she glued cotton balls onto sweats. yeah. glue doesn’t really stick to sweats.
lol! Sometimes it’s more about the process than the product 😉
LOL, that’s hilarious! And it really did turn out cute.
I always make sure to get a picture of my daughter’s art before we put it on the fridge, because later when she sees it she wants to “improve” it in her own way (basically she wants to tear it apart)lol. Very cute craft!
Thanks for the tip on the Goo Be Gone! I’ll look for that too, I think nothing’s going to be too strong for this stuff. It’s also on the back and legs of the bunny.
That’s a neat idea!! Thanks for stopping by today. You did tell me how much you love Fridge Buffet. Did I tell you how much I love it too?! See you over at SITS!
I’ve had to learn those same things: find joy in the making (not the ganked up final project) and then hide that booger if you want to keep it for any length of time.
Cute idea though!
Fun project! I might do that with my PDub when I see him this weekend!
These are so very cute. Its fun to do craft with children. They get so much enjoyment out of them and learn so much. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers, Lia
How adorable! My 7-year old daughter does the same thing with her craft projects as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting on my Wordless Wednesday post.

lol. well this is a really cute craft idea! i can’t wait till my son is a little older and can do these 🙂
Hee! How cute. Thanks for your comment on my blog. Glad to meet a fellow trumpeter!! I suspect there are many of us in the world!
LOL!!! that is so funny because my daughter does the same thing!!!
What a cute lamb and a sweet story! I think it’s so neat that you were able to just let him do his own thing with it instead of trying to make him stop taking the cotton off!
Pulling them off is just as fun! I hope your lamb isn’t cold.
Just came from SITS to say hope you are having a great day.
Aww, this is cute. Probably good you didn’t have to get the glue out. Saved you a mess!
That’s so cute. It makes a very interactive art project. Good thing you took pictures.
That’s so funny! I’m impressed he was so decisive. I’ll bet the plucking was the best part.
that made me laugh…
i bet it was fun both times 🙂
Haha! At least you got a photo before he took it all apart. 🙂
