.bench. {tutorial}

As part of Parker's physical therapy we are working on helping him use his arms more so he can do better at rolling over consistently, pushing off the floor, and sitting independently.

So in order to help him with that, they suggested we get a stool or bench for him to put his feet under and rest his weight on his arms on the top.

So I got to thinking and what better way than to make it match his room and personalize it! {great excuse for a fun craft}

So here it is.....simple.easy.practical.

Can't get much better than that!!

1). Buy a wooden bench at any craft store (I went to JoAnne Fabrics)

 2). Paint bench desired color

 3). Trace design on top of bench with a paint marker

{love the quatrefoil design}

 4). Continue until whole bench is traced and painted

 5). Draw their initial on top of design with a different color paint pen

 6). Outline initial

Wah lah! All Done!

Now Parker has a bench to use to help develop his muscles, it matches his room, and eventually we can use it for the time out stool.

Multiple purposes :)
