It’s really awesome to have a creative husband. He writes music and comes up with some great ideas to get our kiddos doing things! Cutie Pie has been interested in writing rather than just coloring for a while, as I think I’ve posted about before. We have encouraged drawing and painting and other sorts of things to try to get Cutie Pie actually holding a writing instrument, but none of these things have made his socks roll up and down…until Hubby drew some mazes!
Since Cutie Pie hasn’t done a lot of drawing and coloring, he needs help holding his crayons, markers, etc. (Horrible pic of me, but perfect of him holding his marker.) Cutie Pie loves following the mazes and often asks for them. Hubby even got super creative and made one of Cutie Pie’s name, which he adores!
Of course, Sweet Pea is always interested in what Cutie Pie is doing, so he had to give it a go, too. He’s our train guy, so naturally he drove his train along his mazes!
…with a lot of concentration!
I love that this is also something we all do at the table together! (And Hubby can make these so quickly it’s great, although I still slip them into a sheet protector so we can wipe them off and use them again!)
Now, if you’ve been here before you know that I have been linking up here on Thursdays. Today I’m the Star Blog! Please go check it out!
What a great idea, I'm trying to help my cousin with her writing and this is a great idea to try out.

So cute! My daughter loves doing mazes this is a great idea! (found you through Blog Hop Thursday)
That's GREAT!
I was recently thinking about doing more with Mazes with Belle, as she has really taken to them!
I thought I'd share a book with you: It's called Maze Day

I made a bunch of them and then scanned them into the computer so we can print them as needed.
