'Tis the season for Pinterest crafting.
Somehow though my toddler's projects rarely look like what we find on the app. In fact, I am almost positive a great deal of those crafts are done more by moms and less by kids. And really what's the fun in that? My toddler's eyes lit up when he finished his Christmas tree. There were even some "decorations" floating nicely around the tree because he is an overachiever like that. Once upon a time, I thought things had to be done P-E-R-F-E-C-T-L-Y. Sometimes I still do, but crafts with my son is not one of those times. As long as he's happy with it, I'm happy. Because if I did those crafts for him, they wouldn't really be his. Sure, they'd be so great for my Pinterest board or Instagram feed. But they wouldn't be what I'd want to hang on my fridge or what his grandparents would proudly display on their art wall. All too often we see the world through a distorted social media lens. What we really need to do is look at the world through the eyes of a toddler.
