Mum Attempts A Craft Tutorial With Two-Year-Old Daughter... Won't Be Doing That Again
Proof You Should Never Film A Craft Tutorial With A Toddler

Mum-of-two and blogger Ilana Wiles thought it would be a brilliant idea to get both her daughters to help her out with a soap-making craft tutorial for her parenting blog.
But although six-year-old Mazzy was definitely up for the job, her two-year-old sister Harlow wasn't quite ready for her moment on camera.
Wiles, who blogs at Mommy Shorts, said she wasn't prepared for how badly it would go. Luckily, she kept the bloopers for us to see:
1. To begin with, it's all smiles. Mazzy introduces her youngster sister as her assistant and there's no sign of tantrums.

2. But then things start to go down hill. First up is the classic line: "I want that!"

3. Then comes a lot of shouting and loud noise, by which point Mazzy is far from impressed.
4. Harlow begins to play with everything she can find in front of her. We mean everything.

5. Before finally playing a bit of hide and seek, as you do during soap-making.

As you might have guessed, the craft tutorial went out the window.

“My two boys oldest boys were in our new jacuzzi tub, they were approximately five and seven years old. Like all safe and responsible parents we left them alone for awhile. When we came back the whole bathroom was covered in bubbles. They said 'It just happened by itself.' There was no shampoo left in the shampoo bottle. My husband and I were trying not to laugh when we were correcting them. My ever so mischievous second son has the ever present 'Am I in trouble again?' look on his face when this picture was taken.” (credit:Awkward Family Photos)

“Black permanent marker…we call it the Mr. Deeds incident. It was still wet when I caught him (yes there was that much) and I got most of it off right away. He looked like he had black nail polish on for several weeks.” (credit:Awkward Family Photos)
