Preparing for Baby…Craft boxes

Last week, while the kids were at VBS and I only had Jonathan with me every morning (wow! I can’t believe how uncomplicated that made my life for those five days!), I took one step towards getting ready for the baby’s birth. I went to Hobby Lobby and put together a little gift for each of the boys: a craft box.

I got this idea from a magazine page I’d ripped out a long time ago. Here’s the inside (they are all the same):They include beads, string, pom-poms, foam animal shapes, and pipe cleaners (excuse me, I guess they’re called “chenille sticks”).

I put their names on the outside.

The cost worked out to about $8.00 per child, since beads were half price last week. I am hoping that they buy me a few hours of quiet after the baby comes. 🙂 I still need to wrap them.
