Paper magic.

 This was one of our more simple and easy activities. All we needed were lots of colorful pieces of paper, a plain white sheet of paper, glue, and baby. I do make my own glue, just so that it's safe incase he decides to take a bite.
My recipe for that:
Mix 1 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 cups of water, (you might need a little more or less, you'll be able to tell) and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Warm it all up on the stove until it thickens a little, let it cool and it's ready to use. It stays in the fridge well for weeks.
So I just took a plain white sheet of paper and covered it with a thin layer of the glue, and let him go to town putting on the little squares. Once he had the paper covered, (I had to fill a few gaps) I cut out a big "P" for his name, glued it to a colorful piece of paper and stuck it in a frame. Wa-La.
He had so much fun!
