Cloudy Day


We are learning about spring this month and living in Seattle, that includes a number of cloudy days. So today we created a cloudy day! I cut out the suns. The kids glued the sun on their paper. Then they glued 
down cotton balls as clouds. 



I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee..

Bzzzzzz...My toddlers loved this craft! We cut out all the individual pieces (body, head, wings, stripes). The kids glued them all together. We didn't tell them how to put the stripes, as you can probably tell! For the most part, it turned out great!


Coffee Filter Flower

This is a super easy craft to do with preschoolers and toddlers. You take a coffee filter and have the kids color it with markers. The more scribbling and darker the marks, the better!

Then spray the paper once or twice and hang it up to dry.



During nap time I cut two pieces of pipe cleaner. Poke a hole through the center of the coffee filter with one pipe cleaner and make a knot. Then fold the filter around into a flower-ish shape and use the second pipe cleaner to hold it into place. Below is what the final product looks like. Great for a spring craft or mother's day present!
