Crafts: Paper Buildings & Bridges
Aug. 17th, 2020 07:22 pmI am always, always, always on the look out for crafts I think the boys will like. So I picked up Buildings, Bridges, and Landmarks, which has paper versions of about 25 famous landmarks around the world.
I find that NOT paying attention to the news is the best for improving anxiety [I went 6 days at the beginning of August] but if I fail and find myself horribly anxious, doing something fiddly with my hands is a decent salve. Better than trying to read or fic. I do some with the boys [they like tape] and some alone [I prefer glue].
Here's London's Tower Bridge.
And in the cut, Bavaria's Neuschwanstein, the Eiffel Tower, and Barcelona's Sagrada Familia. There are a lot of interesting ones to do, including Angor Wat, Chican Itza, and St. Basil's.
