Think Outside the (toy) Box

Back in March, for a few birthdays our friends had, I decided against toys and made something for their rooms instead. The little guy's name starts with E and the girl's, an A. What better way to use buttons from my stash? Ella and I sat at the table and glued away getting each button to go in the right spot. I even used some of my vintage buttons I've picked up over the years. So, the next time you're invited to a birthday, maybe you could make something fun and easy with the kids instead of paying for toys. Not that toys aren't loved by children, but maybe for the Mom's sake...wink wink.
