Over the past couple of weeks, Lennox has started to slow down and take an interest in arts and crafts.
He has surprised me numerous times because he gets suspiciously quiet. In the past, this silence meant he was up to no good, but now, I catch him in the act of some toddler creativity.
They are beautiful moments, and I dare not interrupt his work.
Sometimes he does ask me to join in, and I will not lie; I have been waiting for so long to get crafty with Lennox.
With Halloween approaching in the next few days, I have been searching for awesome crafts that will stimulate his preschool imagination. So I asked some fantastic bloggers to share their fun-filled Halloween arts and crafts activities for preschoolers, and I wanted to share them with you today.
