Yesterday, I put out “Bingo Dots”.
He was interested (but not for long).
Same construction paper. Same tools.
But then…
I went to the kitchen and put foil where the paper had been.
"OOOOooooooo, Mommy”, he exclaimed.
He loved it, and he played for a very long time.
"Dot,Dot,Dot!" :)
*Optional: If you don’t have “Bingo Dots”, try crayons on the foil
it looks awesome!
Isn't so funny how mixing it up a little can make for a great new experience. I like the foil too!
ReplyDeleteYour son looks totally engaged. What a creative idea using aluminum foil with bingo dots.
ReplyDeleteAfter he has lost interest in the project you might use the aluminum foil for making boats. Set out a pan of water and let him discover what shapes will float.
Thank you for sharing this intriguing project. What a wonderful mother you are!
This looks fun. I love the deceptively simple ideas.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is looking for free "bingo dotters," I've discovered that if you give up an evening to play bingo, people tend to give you their dotters when they're finished. We have a monthly event in Seattle called "Gay Bingo." (Yes, it's an Aids fundraiser.) I went once and wound up with all the dotters I could use for a year.
What a wonderful post, this looks like a lot of fun!
