I see a future creating pop-up books

Brynn LOVES to create things from paper. If she wants something for a story she's creating while she plays with her toys, she just makes it out of paper. I think she'd be happy for hours with some paper, scissors, scotch tape and crayons/markers. For example, she made this stage out of a cardboard thing that came with one of Callie's Christmas presents.

She has made lots of crowns like this for her various toys to wear:

Here's a cage for Diego to keep the dangerous animals:

She makes books quite often. Once she was working on a whole bookstore!

A bookmark commemorating the day she got one of her stuffed pandas. Note the tassel she made on the top:

One of her dolls got stepped on and the legs broke off. No problem! Brynn made him a wheelchair!

Dora got married and needed a wedding cake:

There was a contest of some sort among the toys, and the winner got this trophy:

We needed a mailbox for valentines for her family night lesson on love:

This is a basket of fruit. Can't remember the reason behind it:

Sometimes art imitates life. Dora won the science fair with this project:

I don't think any of it is around any more, but Dora once went on vacation to an imaginary country and Brynn made an entire souvenir store in a shoebox. Little keychains, magnets, hats, t-shirts, etc.
And the Oscar for creative use of paper goes to

BRYNN!

My mother loves pop up books and for Christmas we always get some incredibly elaborate pop up books that just astounds us. I have a young cousin who makes the funnest pop up cards. Here's a great site for simple pop ups to give your little artist some new ideas: http://www.robertsabuda.com/popmakesimple.asp
