Last night we spent some quality time brainstorming objects to use. I think Ellie didn't understand that the objects had to be lightweight and that once glued she would really get them back to be useable. She also didn't quite get the time issues with creating 100 objects.
She wanted to make 100 valentines. Cute. Seasonally appropriate. Not gonna happen if each one takes her, say 5 minutes or more to do. So we compromised and decided to cut out 100 hearts and glue them on the poster board.
It was an all hands on deck family event last night and we were able to cut out 88. Yes Nick and I helped. But she will, by the end of this, end up cutting out about 1/3 of them herself. And she will glue them all. So, she gets the point that 100 is a big number.
And by the end she will be a pro at cutting hearts out. I envision a heart garland in our future...
