Christmas Activity Day 6

I had a lunch date with some friends I used to work with on Thursday and Matthew spent the day at grandma and grandpa's house. Grandma Denise went and got an ornament to paint for Matthew, but he was not in the mood that day. Something tells me that her new-to-him selection of movies and the iPad were a distraction from craft time. But, once we got home, he was quite happy to strategize about what day painting this ornament could be our Christmas activity. Day 6 it is! We had a lot of fun with this one. First he chose background colors for each side and then used sponge stamps to do a different design on each. He likes the sponge "dotter" and so that was one side and the other was a star. He finished it off with glitter paint "so it would sparkle." We stopped by to take grandpa dinner and Matthew made sure that we got to take the ornament in the car so we could show it off when we got there.
