Julia’s Gallery–The Airplane

IMG_0871IMG_0872

Title: Airplane

Materials: red plastic clothespins

Comments: Julia has been having a hard time going to sleep at night.  She just seems to need some quiet time on her own to wind down before she is able to put her head on the pillow and rest.  Andrew and I are ok with that but the rules are that she needs to be in her room playing quietly or reading if she is not going to be sleeping.  We started this a few weeks ago and while we would really love for her to be asleep earlier it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen so this is a good compromise.  Anyway, the other night she asked Andrew what she should play with and he suggested that she create things out of these clothespins. He showed her how to clip a couple together and left her to her own devices.  A little while later he was summoned upstairs so she could off her masterpiece – an airplane!
