When your daughter finally starts showing an interest in "mothering" her dolls, and is really excited to see the stroller and high chair that have been in the attic for months, and is pretending to feed the baby and rock the baby and walk the baby around the family room, and you leave the room for a minute to go to the bathroom, and suddenly you realize that things have become veeeery quiet in the family room, you're likely to encounter this when you go downstairs:
"Liza share stickers with baby!"
"Liza share stickers with baby!" Anyone have a good suggestion on how to store craft supplies so that I can reach them easily, but Liza the Sticker-Happy, Scissor-Learning Toddler can't? Because the clear plastic drawers aren't cutting it, and we're out of upper-level storage in every room in the house. I don't really want to have to go up into the attic every time she wants a glue stick, but my furniture is starting to suffer from the nonstop sticker assault.

Liza is being very creative! She just made a Crash Test Dummy Baby. Safety is soooo important.
Craft hiding: buy the cheap glue sticks and leave the cap off for a few days. Liza gets to have her very own glue stick and you get to have glue free furniture. Get a pair of Fiskar children scissors for when you want her to cut and a cheap pair of plastic scissors for when you don't want to/can't supervise. Fiskars are very sharp and she will be able to cut everything from her hair to your upholstery. The cheapo pair can't cut anything!!
That is hilarious!!!! Abby was being way too quiet today too and I found her in front of the cat's food dishes where she transfered all of the dry food into the water dish. The triangle food curnals were floating around like dead bodies after the titantic sunk. Never a dull moment.

We have a "kids craft" area and an "adults craft" area. The kids shoo us away from their crafts with a "go use your own stuff."
And, we have banned stickers from the house.
