Recently, I have introduced stickers to Sweetpea's craft time and she loves them! The added bonus for letting her peel and stick the stickers onto paper is the development of fine motor skills. When I first gave her the sheet of stickers, she was very excited but had no idea how to remove them and was content to just stick them to the paper. (I have set boundaries with my children's use of stickers after finding stickers on every surface with Buddy. Stickers can only be placed on paper or people with permission.) After a few tries, Sweetpea was able to remove and place the stickers on her own. Now when we start to pull out crayons and paper, she points to our sticker bin as well. Here are a few more pictures of Sweetpea working on her fine motor skills while making beautiful art!
I love the concentration on her face in this photo!
Yes, occasionally she will taste the stickers.
Sweetpea is placing her stickers very carefully!
