Twins make candy canes

[@Rankincats]

If I had one wish, it would be that all children were as loved and cared for as these two sweeties. 🩷🩷

[@GayleBigler]

@@Rankincats I totally agree❤️

[@suetipping4841]

Wonderful to watch the girls skillfully handle the candy cane craft items. They are so bright. Thank you!

[@cynthiahartley4697]

Anastasia is so concentrated! What a doll! Both girls did an awesome job!❤❤❤

[@fineromance1288]

Alicia you are so creative and such a wonderful patient teacher! I love watching the girls learn new skills like this!

[@AllegedlyMaybe]

Such a fun craft to enhance their fine motor skills! Cutest candycanes ever!

[@rudi-183]

I want those Grinch jammies!!The candy canes are a fun project for them. They really caught on fast. 😊❤

[@jessicagoodwin387]

I LOVE the concentration on Anna & Gwyn’s faces when fitting it on the wire!

[@gailpaton1680]

Good eye /hand co ordination skills! Merry Christmas to the Barton's ! The girls are going to have confidence as they grow due to Mom's encouragement and praise and Dads' sense of fun & adventures that teach them skills. Walt and Alicia, you are such good parents. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. 🥰

[@DianaDwyer-lb6sw]

Ana and Guin are so smart. I love all of the activities you do with them. I really love watching the videos. My grandchildren are older and I really miss their younger days and the things we did together. Hope your family has a wonderful Christmas.

[@cherylstevens2420]

What a fun and approachable project for them! Accomplishment plus!❤️🎄

[@joycedupont9310]

I noticed Ana's candy cane looked pretty good with her colors together. So cute watching them.

[@elizabethlock6169]

Such fun.... but learning valuable skills too! Great job, girls! ❤

[@futuredreamer8929]

I love when Anna says Yes The way she says it

[@5thdimension954]

Anna is a Lefty. I’ve been convinced of it for 6 months now. It’s so good to see their fine motor skills at work. There’s a small window where all of these skills get developed and mom & dad give them plenty of activities for them to keep growing into the beautiful girls they are

[@nancymburu3434]

There's one video when they were much younger the mum addressed the fact that the doctors mentioned one of them might? Could? Will? End up as a leftie

[@SharonPerson-hm9ds]

@5thdimension954 - I noticed that Ana started out using her right hand, then switched to her left. She seems ambidextrous to me. It appears she uses her right hand to eat, paint, and color, but will do some tasks with her left hand. Since Alicia is left handed, it's possible Ana or Guin, or both, could be, but medical professionals say that it could take up to age 5 to determine.

[@5thdimension954]

@@SharonPerson-hm9dsThanks for sharing your observations about Ana as I’ve observed the same. Also, I did not know Alicia is also Left hand dominant. This convinces me even more that Ana will be L handed. Both my husband and son are L handed and they are also way more ambidextrous than my R handed self or our daughter. Our children’s hand dominance showed up very early and I believe in part, it’s was because we gave them birth plenty of opportunities to exercise their fine motor skills with play, crafts and utensils to name a few.

[@bevlovecchio1452]

They did a great job getting the beads on the pipe cleaners, talented little girls just like their Mom. 🥰🥰🥰

[@cathykrueger4899]

This is a wonderful video. I was just thinking that embroidery would be a great thing to introduce them to in the future. Their attention span is amazing. Your guidance and patience is already reflected in the way these sweet girls approach problem solving. This was a great project and so much fun to watch.

[@Miriam-w8j]

Doing a wonderful job. Looks like so much fun, going down the stairs. 😊

[@sharonmajor2723]

Beautiful job, ladies!! 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@ConnyJPratt]

Christmas 🎄 Crafts are so much fun. It was our family tradition to make something new for the tree every year. My late parents were impressed with both my brother and my skill development. I am impressed with their skill at 2. Love Guinevere's chant Down the stairs. Love that Anastasia wants to eat it lol.

[@maggievoultsios618]

I am amazed at their hand, eye coordination. They are fabulous ❣️❣️🥰

[@MaxineFosmark]

It is wonderful to watch year girls put the beads on the stem to make the candy canes. The girls are so coordinated to line up the beads on the stem. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤️

[@LeslieJohnson-mm2ok]

My goodness! Between their pjs and all the cute conversations that was adorable!! What a great idea! Might have to get the supplies to make these with my twins and their 2 1/2 year old sister on Christmas day😊❤ thank you for sharing the wonderful craft!❤❤❤

[@susanswales8313]

Hand to eye coordination , fine motor skills , colour recognition , singing all in one special activity with their momma. What a great day the girls are having ? Lovely 🥰🇬🇧🥰

[@vivvegan]

Awww bless them ....the concentration on their little faces is magical❤

[@tvic4038]

What a fun craft idea and they did such a good job! Love their Grinch jammies!

[@jeanellrushing5767]

They had amazing hand/eye coordination.

[@kellysedan424]

Thank you girls for the joy and happiness that you share with us daily. Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄

[@theresacormier3253]

Down the stairs ❤❤what a cute activity ! ❤❤. Poor GUIN seems to be a little under the weather, a little cough!

[@Gabi-m5]

So cute ! Christmas pajamas 🌲🌲🤶🤶🥰 It seems that Ana loved more to create this candies and she can focus really a long time in what she is doing. God job sweety. Oh, until you brought her the new pipe she fed the yellow duck. So cute! To do the homework for school you will need separate tables 😉Patience and concentration are required in every activity. ❤❤ Good skills girls. It's look like real candies 🍭🍭 The table " is the floor" in her imagination mom . Great analogy Ana. It's like the candy fell and she can't eat it now because was on the floor. She told you what you are teaching them : Not to eat from the floor. You gave Gwen your big candy and to Ana the small one

[@KarenP986]

Their fine motor skills along with hand-eye coordination is amazing for almost 3 yro! Truly fascinating watching these 2 make candy canes. And Guinevere pretend licking, eating it. So precious!!😂😂🎉🎉❤❤

[@CarolHicks-ip1ce]

Wow probably the best kraft for the girls. They are both so capable at this age and we are all so proud of them. Nice job. Merry Christmas from Canada Barton family.

[@SandraFaulkner-f1f]

Oh wow for their age there concentration is amazing when these sweet young girls are making their candy canes mums praise is so good and encouraging two little girls to be very proud of bless ❤

[@lindakile1229]

I watched them string their beads earlier today. They had so much fun and really did well getting them on the pipe cleaners! I find that amazing for their age! I love to watch them do anything. Those will be extra special on your Christmas Tree!🌲 🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️

[@pamhall2003]

Your ideas are great to do with the girls!❤❤

[@BobMeir]

I remember watching them go up the stairs when they started walking, thank you so much for sharing them with us

[@catherinedavis2908]

Merry Christmas to you all

[@cynthiagriffin6420]

The girls are doing a great job of making candy canes. Their outfits are adorable for this activity and they learned real fast how to make the canes. Blessings as always.

[@ellieaguilar6912]

How cute, Guin in her own little world saying "down the stairs" 😊

[@mihiretmamo8808]

" coming down the stairs "😅😅😅😅

I certainly love watching these little darlings growing up. I am an old mom who won't be a grandmother, so this helps. Merry Christmas to you all!

They work so well together. They are so much fun to watch!

[@KELLY-uj4vf]

I did this with my daughter and again with my grandsons. It is such an easy and fun project. Both girls are doing a good job with the beads. I love Guin's song about "down the stairs". 😊 I am glad you explained about Guin's cough, I'm glad it's not a co🤧

[@dianedmw50]

Smart girls. They catch on quick. They always make me smile! 💜💗

[@ConnyJPratt]

Down the stairs

Am surprised they sticking to the so long usually with attention span they loose intrest

[@aliciabarton3497]

No haircuts yet😅♥️♥️

InHello Ana and Guin❤ You both did such a great job making and decorating your candy canes. They are doing such a great job concentrating❤

Yes they got their skills. Brilliant.well done. It's good to see them coming on so well. Thanx Martin London UK

[@LarueClements]

I have spent my life being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. My career was Early Childhood Education. The Lovely Little Ladies are so advanced. Great Mother/Teacher ❤❤❤❤❤❤😅

[@ellieleshansky]

I think they might like making things out of pipe cleaners. They are so creative, possibilities are endless

[@SandraFaulkner-f1f]

They only thing that can be worrying with little ones is they can be a choking hazard little beads so good they are being well observed bless 😊

[@Maggie-x7r]

They look so cute today. They are doing a great job. Merry Christmas to all of you.

[@starry6377]

Love this activity. Girls are so engaged. Alicia, you do a wonderful job.

[@bfthompson416]

Hello sweetiepies! They are doing such a good job! Guin - down the stairs! Sorry they have a little cough (Guin). Alicia you are so creative in their activities. Ana concentrates so well! Such great hand eye coordination for this age!!!! Love their jammies and their accents! Great imaginations too - Guin! Sea horse! And he's coming for his babies. Baby is crying! I think they had a good attention span for 2 year olds. But eventually that was it! And they wanted to play with the beads more than string them! Guin is so imaginative! Ana concentrates on what she is doing! Ana: I got it! They did so well! Thank you for sharing the joy!

[@user-lq5pk6ke3e]

"I almost got mad at you!" omg

[@phyllisruchalski5037]

The girls have patience and concentration !

[@hopegary7825]

Mumma their enthusiasm is infections. Love how Anna uses her left and Gwen uses her right. Beautiful! love this activity.

[@baulert1372]

Oh my the beads are going down the stairs!!😅😅 What a wonderful fun craft for the girls to do!!❤❤ You are a wonderful mom for doing crafts with the girls 😊😊 Three beautiful candy canes!!

[@pamelageiger5478]

Hello Barton Family!!! So adorable. They do so well with their projects. I just love their conversations. Keep up the great work.🤶🤶🎄

What a festive fun activity and as usual the girls were absolutely amazing ❤

[@susanslugg8965]

I love their imagination❤

[@brendak.2684]

Adorable as always ladies! 💕 Im sure Ana and Quin will have a wonderful Christmas . Merry Christmas Alicia and Walter 🎄

[@sharonmccabe-eu9ls]

Love the grinch outfits

[@P-zw8tc]

The girls followed directions beautifully . Perhaps you could have shown them a finished candy cane in the beginning so they knew what they were making .😊

[@JennSafari]

Alicia did exactly what she wanted to do. They don't always have to see what a project is supposed to look like. The point of creativity and activities like this is creating what they want and what they envision in their minds. Teaches them how to think for themselves instead of someone telling them this is what it should look like and then they feel defeated if it doesn't. 😊

[@vcarfagno6593]

Anna started out holding the pipe c!eaner too far down making it harder to get the bead on but the second time around she figured out all by herself to hold it closer to the end of the pipe cleaner! Amazing to watch her process the whole thing in her head! These girls amaze me every day😃

[@MartheseMangion]

Good Job girls very clever 😅😅❤❤❤beatiful candy canes.

[@sharon_l_0805]

I remember making these in school. Talk about fun.

[@angelahambley3577]

Dexterity concentration focusing social skills and lots of fun with mom too have a great day ana you did it all by myself and guin was down the stairs 😅😅❤❤

[@carolangell9015]

Good morning ❤ this is a memory they will always have at Christmas ❤

[@karalewis007]

Looks like fun! ❤🎉😊

[@lr9010]

This is so stinking cute. They are both doing great. I think Ana’s dropping it on the floor is like a real candy cane. You can’t have it if you drop it on the floor. 😂

[@Gabi-m5]

I noticed too. Mom didn't understand Ana's analogy and asked her " on floor? " 😆

[@carolelangat-fortune4557]

These lovely ladies are just clever

Hi sweet girls. I pray you both have a happy healthy and blessed Christmas.

I love the craft project you both are doing…and doing an excellent job. I remember doing these fun projects with my grandchildren when they were younger. Till next time have fun girls..hugs Betty 🎁❤️🥰😘🙏🙏

[@vaishalimuzumdar]

Wonderful video so much fun but when I saw those beads I felt scared they might put in their mouth children do it many times Ana done it too but you have taken it out so carefully without scaring her. Great parenting so nice. Thanks for sharing your happiness. Next bead was small Ana trying but Guin showed her how to have fun so Ana decided to have fun too & you agreed too. So it wasn't for them all work no fun. You let them have fun too. So nice.
