ReplyDeleteThat pipe cleaner sewing needle is a great idea. My mom bought Bear the Melissa and Doug sewing cards, but I love these ideas for homemade ones.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hobbies are reading, sewing, painting and drawing and I am definitely sharing those with Bear.
I am a follower (as the girl who painted trees).
ReplyDeleteThanks again for another set of cool links. I've been meaning to make some of these for my son. The needle idea is great!
ReplyDeleteI like to sew and tie dye. I am planning on including my son as soon as he gets a bit older. The tie dyeing will be a big hit, I'm sure, because of the mess factor. lol.
I follow.
ReplyDeleteI love to read! I always read to my sibling and to the kids I sit for... We also do a lot of painting on canvas together
ReplyDeleteI follow
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hobby is quilting, and I hope my son will enjoy a bit of it -- or at least learn to let mom enjoy a bit of it! I have a bag of juvenile fabric print scraps that I let him unpack and play with, and I also made him an "ispy" quilt with all different fun fabrics to look and match up to others. He's too young to sew yet, but some day I'll let him push the pedal and sit on my knee.

ReplyDeleteI like to knit. I am also planning to teach my kids how to knit maybe in 2 or 3 years. Right now, I just want them to get used to seeing lots of yarn and needles in my hands.
ReplyDeleteSewing!!! Of Course!!!
ReplyDeleteI would have said my favorite hobby is scrapbooking, but I only do that 2 times a year now! So now my favorite hobby is cooking for my family and friends, and yes, I get my little one involved. She gets to measure, pour, and sample for me :) We are ALWAYS in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI love your giveaways. I looove kits!

ReplyDeleteHi, My favorite hobby is papercrafting either cards or scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteI have a 2 year old little guy who lvoes to be in Mamma's stamp room. Anytime I go there to stamp or scrap he is right behind me. I give him paper and we talk about the color then he practices cutting the papper into little pieces. Or if he is not interested in cutting then he colors the paper to make his own cards. It is very cute. One day I hope he and his sister join me in making cards.
I do not know what "send us a submission is" Is that a picture of my hobby?

ReplyDeleteI have some of the Melissa and Doug sewing cards. My boys have not gotten the hang of it yet. I think the string is a little long for them. Maybe I will try making some of my own. Thanks for the idea.

What a great blog. My hobby right now is . . . reading. And two of my girls finally figured it out. We will be reading more around here.
