Somebody tell me why something so "fun" can be so stressful!:eek: Map turned out great and the kids had fun (good), but I am super-stressed out! Why are these crafty things so darned aggravating for me? Could it be that I had a toddler and Ker wanting to "help" with every aspect and every 3 seconds I'm telling them to get their fingers OUT of the icing/cookie/chocolate chips, etc.? I did let them help when they could but goodness gracious! Phew...so glad it is over. Sure hope making our bird feeder this afternoon is less stressfull! :)

I know exactly what you mean! We made a cookie map of the US a while back. I planned ahead of time and had each child take a turn making a geological feature. [Read: MOM! She's messing up my river! or MOM! She's squishing my mountain chain!] The toddler we kept happy by feeding her mini-chocolate chips!
