Daddy Craft Box: Entry 1

Like every other Mommy, I am getting restless between this cold weather, and my husband being away. Even more so, Caleb. It's just been way too cold, and wet for my little one to play outside. So he is becoming very frustrated with being cooped up with nothing but a T.V... and his toys.
A while back we created a "Daddy Craft Box". We took an old box from storage, and decorated it with stickers, sparkles, feathers, etc... After that, we went to the store and got rather cheap things to put inside. Micheal's is your best bet for the fun stuff, they have a dollar section filled with craft supplies [sometimes they even have 2 for 1].
Well today we pulled out the craft box. We usually just color daddy pictures, but he seems to be getting bored with it. So I decided to try something new!

What you'll need:
Cereal [preferably, Apple Jacks, Fruit Loops, or Cheerios]
Glitter Glue
Assorted Construction Paper

It seems rather bland. But it kept Caleb busy for about 2 hours. It's great cause kids can snack on the cereal while they craft for daddy!

Hope this helped.

Here's an example of a picture Caleb and I made together:
