Today I made a trial button-practice for the boys, with a couple of buttons on a piece of felted sweater for softness and sturdiness. There is room for tweaking, as the toy was a success, at least in terms of how curious they were when I presented it to them and that they came back to it after our walk. It was a failure, though, as my contraption doesn’t do anything, or lead to anything, so they don’t quite see what’s the point of it. I think I ‘ll make a bag next!
During our walk we picked lots of pine cones for kindling, and saw a few hearts in the trees. I guess with Valentine’s day approaching, my brain is more alert to the shape of the heart, wherever it may show.
Happy Tuesday!
