Birthday sparkles


Margaux is 16 months old now and has reached the age of the busy toddler who is very curious and loves to try new things. We've had an incredibly white Winter to say the least, with snow days multiple times a week. How do you occupy a toddler in that case? Lots of CRAFTS.
It was my husband's birthday in January and a great occasion to try our first craft project. I got the idea from a friend of mine who has two children and is a lot more experienced than me on this. The concept is simple, gives pretty results and is definitely "toddler-approved".

Inspiration:
The view of the Eiffel Tower from our home when we lived in Paris
Tools: 
Heavy cardboard paper, sequins or glitters, Playskool© glue, pencil, cookie cutter
How To: 
- Draw your desired shape using a cookie cutter on the cardboard (a simple shape is best)
- Help your toddler squeeze some glue onto the drawing
- Let your toddler place sequins/glitters all over
- Let the artwork dry for about 30 mns
- Gently shake to remove the excess sequins
