The best thing about being 3 years old is that they find every new little thing so fascinating. You can just bribe him with a glue of a new color or a new set of markers instead of chocolates (chocolates are the ultimate bribe, when nothing else works!). One day he noticed my punch. "My teacher also has a punch! wow!" So I gave it to him with some origami paper.
He punched and punched till eternity. I held the paper though as he still couldn't coordinate holding paper in the exact position AND punch. may be he will. soon.
He squeezed glue (I hope he NEVER gets bored of squeezing glue!) and sprinkled the 'dots' we got from the punch over it.
Then I cut up hearts and did the same. Then taped it to the window glass to be greeted next morning with beautiful sunlight shining through!
