A simple coloring pad made by my son and I

Tweet

I have just made this very simple coloring pad together with my 4 year old son. At first, I just took a big piece of white paper to wrap the newspaper, and it was done. My son wanted to write his name on the coloring pad, and after writing his name, he used crayon to draw on the pad itself. As the crayon may dirty the table, so we decided to use a transparent wrapping paper to wrap it, so my son's drawing can still be seen. I cut out the wrapping paper, and I attended to my baby girl as she was crying. When I came back to my son, he has cut and wrapped the coloring pad with the wrapping paper. I was so amazed! I just showed him how to wrap a book, and how I cut the wrapping paper to wrap the day before. He just picked it up so fast! I always think children's potential is really amazing and great! It's really fun making crafts together with the children, though sometimes they don't do it the way you want, but that's their creativity! Do you like to make any crafts together with your children? What is the craft you have made with them lately? If you are interested to make the coloring pad, here is the tutorial: http://thewonderofchildhood.com/2011/06/how-to-make-a-coloring-pad/
