When Chris and I first got married, we would tear open the junk mail and stuff it back inside the prepaid envelopes and send it back to the marketing companies. The things we did for a laugh back then. :)
Now, in my more mature years (ha), I've found a somewhat productive activity in which to use the advertisements. This being only Vera's second time using scissors, I definitely had to help her cut, but she enjoyed the challenging task. We flipped through the junk mail, she would identify objects, then we'd cut them out together and tape them on a black poster board.
I find it interesting the things she picked out. Coffee, for example, and boots. For a quick clean-up, we picked up all the scrap paper and chucked it in the recycling bin.
Then we flipped over the poster board and got out the chalk. I think she enjoyed breaking the chalk into little pieces more than scribbling.
