I came across a wonderful site, Kids Craft Weekly. Amber Caravan, editor and founder, has agreed to participate in creative little hands. As we all know, the days can get quite busy with kids and sometimes you just don't have time to think and search for creative ideas. In order to help make creative little hands successful I asked Amber if she would mind contributing some of her crafty ideas to bebestages. So, I hope you all enjoy this weeks creative little hands contribution.

I was reading a fellow blogjolters website, Keeping the Castle, Maricar has a great post on these vacuum shoes that are to come out in the future I for one would love these!!! I vacuum at-least two to three times a day. Constantly cleaning up the cheerios off the floor. As Maricar questions this too, where will all the dirt go? Check them out they're pretty cool.

This weekend was spent with my sister and and her two little ones. Her Noah, age 3, and my Paige, age 4, don't always get along. As parents we realize that these early ages are mostly spent bickering and yelling at each other; who won't share, who wants that toy etc. This weekend wasn't too bad though, I think that Paige is starting to realize that some things are just not worth fighting over. Here and there we would have to intervene and explain why sharing is important, and hitting is a BIG no no. But last night something magical happened. We let them be, we let them figure there own problems out AND they came together and sort of grew up. My sister and I were upstairs talking when these two little rascals came running to us, laughing and smile; and to our surprise they had each drawn a masterpiece for their mommy. They came together and did something they new would make us happy and proud. We were shocked beyond belief that these kids thought of something that didn't involve something in return except for a HUGE smile and a great BIG hug.
Sometimes you just gotta let kids be.

We took a nice long break for a few weeks to get "in order". Our official 2007 posting will begin on January 15th.
This is going to be a good year, I can feel it.
