A couple weeks ago, I bought him a DVD of Curious George episodes. That is the only video he will watch now...and almost everything he sees in it he relates to real life. He even "talks" like George. When George does something...Lane thinks he can too. So, this week, we did a couple of crafts at the request of Lane.
On Wednesday's episode, George made a bridge out of marshmallows, toothpicks, and playing cards to save some ducks from a small island.
We had to substitute pretzel sticks for the toothpicks.
Then, yesterday Lane started playing with some boxes. Suddenly, he said, "Holes! Cut holes! Robot!" In one episode, George makes a robot costume for himself so that he can play with Hundley the dog. We decided this was a project for Daddy and Lane, so when Curtis got home, they built a robot.
First, cut holes with a sharp knife.
Next, use special "robot" tape...yep, the only tape we have in this house is painting tape.
Also, make sure Katy doesn't eat the cardboard. A hammer is ok.
Try it on and make adjustments...
Add decorations and a hat, and you've got yourself a robot just like Curious George! Lane even wrote "XF17" on the front, just like George.
That is so cute! It looks like he had a blast :)
