We're way into arts and crafts these days. The problem: it's gets out of control and chaotic fairly quickly if Corinne is painting, gluing or using anything more involved than stickers and crayons...because Ellen and Sophie want to do it, too. And I've found that I just can't monitor that for all three kids in a way that ensures safety (E & S not eating the paint or glue) and order (E & S not tipping over the paint, fighting over it, painting on things other than paper, etc). So Corinne and I save the "good stuff" for times when Ellen and Sophie aren't around. It works pretty well that way for everyone. Sophie has been interested in crayons lately, including eating them.
