Mama Makes a Shape Belt.

Despite a recent obsession with Octonauts, we ended up watching a Team UmiZoomi last week sometime. After watching the show, we were sitting at the dinner table and Colin says, "I want a shape belt. Let's make one." For those unfamiliar, a Shape Belt is a superhero tool (of sorts) that's worn by the character Geo from UmiZoomi. He uses the shapes on it to build whatever it is the team needs to succeed at their mission. So, Colin wanted one.

So we got a belt and taped some foam cutout shapes on it as a prototype. It was pretty sad looking, in my estimate. But I'm not the one that matters!

Colin.loved.it. It was so nice to make him so happy with just such a simple thing. Love making that boy happy.



And the boy is seriously handsome in this picture, right?


He wore the prototype belt to the Farmer's Market to show it off. Fortunately Daddy was able to superglue the shapes on later that night, so it's much sturdier now. Good thing too....Colin wore it biking the next day!

Team UmiZoomi and YOU!
