Helping Hand Tree

Madelynn loves to help with everything. Whether her assistance actually makes life easier is seriously questionable, but she definitely enjoys being a part of the chores. To show my appreciation (real or faked), we made a fun craft.

First we went through old magazines to find pictures of things Mads helps with. Diaper care, saving money (by putting all the change in piggy banks), laundry sorting and cooking, etc.

Then it was time for hand-tracing and cutting them out.

I drew a simple trunk on a piece of card stock, and Mads glued all of the hands to the tree.

And here you have it, the helping hands tree.

Because there's not already enough shit on my refrigerator. :)
