Excellent rules for both parents and grandparents to remember. Also for teachers. But also do remember to teach the little ones to clean up after themselves … ;) That’s how to teach them to be careful and clean up as they go. My 39-year daughter still has not learned this lesson!
I teach a lot of quilting and other crafts’ classes. The phrase I ALWAYS share with my students is “creative deviations.” Such inclusions most often make the end product “one of a kind” “hand-crafted” masterpieces.
There was a gingerbread house ‘workshop’ at the local library over the weekend. Anyone was welcome, 4 to 94. Messy and creative were the lodestones for the event. Oh, and fun!

And don’t grin TOO evilly when you bite a snow-person’s head off!

Looks like the gingerbread village has lots of snow.

But at least one gets to nibble the ‘mistakes’ until they look right.

There are no mistakes in crafting. Only Creative Opportunities.

Given MeeMaw’s talents I am only surprised she doesn’t have a gingerbread version of either Saint Peter’s Basilica or the Sistine Chapel

Not just a gingerbread house, but a whole village! Love it!

Meema always has a situation of creating happiness for all. No wonder rose is rose.
