I just LOVE to do crafts. It may have been the thing I most looked forward to doing with my kids when dreaming of being a Stay At Home Mom. I love to do pretty much anything in this area....sewing, painting, and recently....building things.To say that Ethan loves crafts....well.....that's just a lie. He would much rather do anything else. Because of his sensory issues, he used to scream at the touch of ANYTHING messy, wet, spongy, scratchy, etc. Also, because his fine motor skills were vastly lacking, he would become intensely frustrated when trying to color, cut, pinch, paste. And a frustrated preschooler who also has autism...watch for a meltdown. So, I would usually do a few crafts with my sister's kiddos (who I occasionally babysit) and hope that Ethan would mimic them....much to my disappointment. I was lucky to get 5 minutes of focus out of him.
