Do you want to build a snowman ...craftfail

Over the winter break I have all sorts of play dates, outings, and craft time lined up to keep my two boys (5 and 8) busy. With to much time on their hands they either fight with each other over silly things like looking at each other funny or I hear Mom Mom MOM MOMMMMMY! !

Today I wanted to try to make a cute Snowman made from an egg carton. There was a cute photo step by step floating through facebook for weeks and I was excited to try with my 5 Year old...

I knew I needed to start with good scissors and I carefully cut each little egg carton compartment out... 

Hmmm. My egg cartons have holes where they join.... and the photo tutorial had this perfect and larger shaped compartments....

No problem maybe so tape can help things.....

My son had fun taping! But at this point we were pretty sure this was not going to turn into the adorable snowman we wanted... but why not add a little paint.....

Yea...... we were right this was a craft fail... my son said not to worry because sometimes things don't always work out....  That completely melted my heart! I was worried he would be upset and I was thinking of other ways to make a snowman but he was happy and had fun failing at our silly snowman! So even if you are not crafty give something new a try failing can be as much fun as succeeding!  I know we had more giggles with this than we normally do with our projects!
