My son has a fascination with eyes at the moment.

“Does it have eyes?” or “Show me the eyes! Where are the eyes?” are the  most asked questions in this house (followed closely by questions about poo–see “Interest of the Week” at the right).

I gave him a glue stick, some construction paper, shapes to glue onto the paper, feathers, a bit of “my wool, Mommy”, and some google eyes.  I glued the legs on the spider, but the rest is all his creation.  Here it is:

The eyes have it

If my son turns out to be an artist, we’ll call this his “Eyes Period”.

The need for eyes extends to three-dimensional creations, too. We made some Play-Dough worms, and they all had to have eyes. I explained to him that worms don’t have eyes and don’t need them. He suggested that we look in a book and that we might find out that worms had eyes, there.  Little J does not take no for an answer. Sigh. Oh well, we made some lovely, sighted worms with  eyes that were wildly out of proportion with the worm body.  Gorgeous, darling!
