Posted - Nov 16 2005 : 12:43:44 PM I am a co founder of a mommies group in my town and I am the host of a craft day and a recipe exchange day. The recipe days go really smooth because we just scribble down eachothers recipes but the craft day gets a little wild.
Does anyone have any good simple but fun crafts for a table full of moms trying to keep an eye on a living room full of toddlers?
I have done a few, some more complicated than others, and so far I get mixed results. I know you can't please everyone and it relies heavily on if the kids are playing well together so there are a lot of variables here, but I would like this to be a success so if anyone has any tips on hosting such a group, or crafts that work better than others please clue me in.
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |
