Otto
Posted By pamelamyers on January 10, 2016
Mark is always looking for something to do with Sam to keep her occupied for a while that does not involve her sitting in the house watching tv. It always helps that his little activities keep her out of my hair for a while….
Mark’s most recent idea stemmed from their Christmas craft of making snowmen. We talked about how it would be a cool idea to make some sort of display item. We had an old piece of wood that stood up perfectly, so, once Mark explained to Sam what they would be doing, they got busy on the task at hand! Sam ran and got her tools and worked really hard making her snowman.
She’s pretty good with a hammer, my handy little girl!
I helped Sam assemble some random acorns, seeds and sticks from the yard to decorate him. The hat is a piece of bark. I love how she added so many details: the scarf, the basket of snowballs, and the tiny little snowman in his hand. Pretty creative, I think! Sam said his name was Otto, so I found some flexible twigs and glued his name to the display. A little poly to protect him and make him shine, and Otto is done!
