Sticker Surplus


Is it just me or do all of you other parents of young children have a ridiculous number of stickers for your kids?  I rarely buy them, but some how we are sticker magnets.  To be clear, I am not complaining.  I love stickers (it is different than hoarding them, I swear) and we are always putting them on letters and papers and our clothes.... 

So when I saw this idea on Pinterest, I knew it was meant just for us!  I cut out a gigantic tree from an old cardboard box we had laying around and had Amelia paint it one day after school.  Then, the next day, I gave Henry and Amelia some of our sticker collection and let them decorate the tree.  Turns out, old address labels make the perfect garland! Amelia made a star for the top and then I hung it on the inside of our front door.  I made need to recreate this activity for every holiday as we hardly made a dent in our sticker surplus...
