Memory Lane....Hanky Babies

I had totally forgotten about this activity that my mom used to do with me

(maybe to keep me quiet in church)

When we got some some hankies and scarves out for play with the grandkids

I remembered

(I wonder if I ever did this for my own children)

To entertain me, my mom would 

fold her hanky in half like a triangle

roll up the two opposite ends into "babies"

pull the unrolled ends up at the "head" and "foot" of the baby rolls

Then I'd rock my babies

Here kids....babies for everyone!

If you pull too hard

your babies will disappear

Then we 

tossed

danced

smoothed

imagined

and collected

Kaitlyn  soon had layers and layers in her collection

and everyone else was in short supply!

Has anyone these days even heard of a hanky?

Did your mom ever make you some twins in a cradle with a hanky?
