art by aiden

Here are some saved up art by Aiden crafts from the past few that have a valentine feel to them - We've been celebrating for a while with the red and pink, eh?  There are more recent valentine's crafty escapades coming soon.
This stained 'glass' hanging ornament was a present for Great Poppie - He wasn't as keen on the sticky see-through paints as he is with the "messy mixy" ones he usually uses.
My favorite are the sunshines he was careful not to paint over on the left and right of the bottom hole:
I think one of Aiden's favorite part of crafting lately is writing his name after he's "finished" which he tries to say is pretty quick just to get the chance to sign his name.  Then he tells me he wants to "add more detail" so he can keep working on it.
He made these treats at the Newport Creamery craft night - At first we thought he'd told the craft lady that his name was Dinosaury - but it turns out that she had asked him what he'd like to name the heart man.
Weaving some of his cards with paper strips "takes a long time" according to Aiden:
He likes to "write" TU instead of to, and if he accidentally does it backwards he'll do it again.  He told me the orange wavy line is his "love heart beat"
About a quarter of the valentine's that Aiden signed on his own - My trick for getting him excited to sign things over and over again is to give him "adult" pens and even a sharpie (which he loooved and only got one accidental mark on his arm) - these were the back of the cards for his friends from school:

So cute...impressive name writing Aiden! I love sharpies too, especially the colored ones:)

Sharpies are like the mecca of markers! Especially fun to write on this foamy stuff. I'm just lucky he didn't swipe it across any furniture or his face or something ;)
