I used roasted seaweed pieces to assemble the trees, and glued Annies bunny grahams for some wildlife… although the next morning we were missing a bunny! We glued sunflower seeds to make a door path. When I was fixing the chimney, I had him make the yard and color some grass on a piece of paper. I helped a little with the alignment when he looked away, but overall I was very impressed with his roofing skills. Between mouthfuls of shredded wheat, he would loudly exclaim “I am the gluing machiner mommy!”. My 3 year old was having a blast gluing together the cereal roof. She thought it would be a fun project for me and my son (she is thoughtful like that). On it, I could make out a very cute log cabin made from pretzels. She sent me a clipping from the Buffalo News that was so faded I could hardly read the print. From cookbooks, to handwritten recipes on 3×5 cards, scribbled notes on scraps of paper, printouts from the internet, to clipped magazine and newspaper recipes.
