I have a toddler.
My toddler is very energetic and sometimes a little destructive.
I recently purchased my beautiful girl some crayons and two (2) coloring books.
Anyone else see where this is going?
She broke all of her crayons and tore off most of the paper. The madness ensues for 4 days. Stepping on, vacuuming up, finding in odd places, chasing down a chihuahua to get them out of his mouth, chasing down the little one to keep her from drawing on furniture.
I had the Sparta quote running through my mind. Except I was the messenger and my little one was the spartan.
Me – “This is Madness!”
Little One – “THIS! IS! TODDLERHOOD!!”
Or maybe I’ve just had a one too many Sugar Free Amps, or lack of sugar-free amps. I tend to get weird without my daily dose.
So any-who….
I got tired of the nice little broken pieces of crayon and as I was picking them up to toss them a nice little lightbulb came on. Why not just melt them down into cool multicolored “biscuits”? This way she can’t break them, I’m not stepping on tiny bits, and she wont throw a fit with me throwing them out. EUREKA!
