Time To Celebrate Glasses!

Yay!  It is Great Glasses Play Day today!  

Time to celebrate kids that need a little extra help with their peepers!

Did you know?

This is our second year celebrating.  Last year we wrote a poem and interviewed princess about her glasses.

Today, we celebrated by partaking in some of the suggested craft projects posted on the Great Glasses Play Day website.  I must remember to let our eye care provider know about this great site as well as the Little Four Eyes site (one of the groups behind the celebration).

First we made fun foam eyeglass cases for Princess (age 4) and Pumpkin (age 6).  Since Pumpkin does not wear glasses, we found a pair of fun foam glasses for him to wear for our fun craft time.

Princess is so excited to have a homemade eyeglass case to place her glasses in during nap time at daycare this fall.  Of course it is purple!  What other color would be fitting for such a statement of character and flair.

Next we made Princess a ladybug mask to go with her homemade ladybug cape.  Now she is really Ladybug Girl!!!!!! This was the best craft of the day. 

Pumpkin was so engrossed making an eyeglass case that he skipped making the mask.  We finished the craft session with a coloring page.

Currently Princess' prescription is:

OD: -5.25 sph, -1.50 cyl, 110 axis

OS: -5.50 sph, -2.00 cyl, 070 axis

We are definitely thankful for her glasses!  Well off I go to read Princess Fancy Nancy: Spectacular Spectacles by Jane O'Connor.

Happy Great Glasses Play Day Everyone!!!!!
