Our craft today was a sweet dog! We did our own take on the craft I saw online, just to make it a bit simpler for the two's. I do have to say, I love the saying on the craft online, check it out! The reason we did our craft simpler is because we had our party today and the two's had yummy food to eat! I didn't want to overwhelm them with lots of stuff to do, so this was perfect.
