Fun-Day Friday

I decided to share, on this Fun Friday, a little project that my Lucy and I did.

I read about the project on BabyCenter.com. I occasionally visit their projects/crafts section to see if there is anything fun to do, or that helps Lucy develop and learn.  Every once in a while I'll actually find one that sounds good and doesn't require a lot of work. Nevertheless, we decided to make bracelets! :) 

Lucy occasionally plays with my bracelets; therefore, I was going to make Lucy her own!

So, I sat her down.

I got some of our Fruity Cheerios (Fruit Loops, AppleJacks, or regular Cheerios would work too).

2 box tops?! :) Heck yeah!

I got some ribbon.

And, then we started stringing the Cheerios on the ribbon. 

I don't know why I have such a "sour" look on my face. I think I was concentrating too hard.  Lucy enjoyed holding the other end for me...and snacking on the Cheerios. :)

Baby Center also suggested using Twizzler ropes or Sour Punch ropes too. I thought they might be too sticky and I didn't particularly want Lucy all sugared up!

I could barely get Lucy to sit still long enough to get a few pictures of her bracelet. She immediately started chewing on it. That is probably my fault, since she was eating them before I even put them on the string!

She played with it a little too.

See the purple Cheerio on her shoulder? :)

It didn't take long before all of her "charms" we gone. She was just left with a bracelet, which I then took off.

It was a lot of fun for Lucy. I thought that she might wear her bracelet around for a while; but, she just immediately started eating it! She didn't even make it out of the highchair. haha.  Perhaps next time...

It may work a little better when she is older. Then she could even help me string the Cherrios! :)

Do you do any fun projects like this with your baby or toddler?

Note: I had a picture post yesterday, "A Box isn't a Box", and it just seemed to disappear! I posted it right before Blogger went down and now it's gone. Sorry!
