This week we learned about Spring and what that means. We covered everything from bees and ladybugs to planting flowers and making springtime rainbow door hangers.
Here’s our Spring Wall – where we fill it up with this weeks crafts.
I covered their names with the word “Spring”, but we made flowers too. My son said he couldn’t use the pink squares as flowers because “pink is for girls!”…so he created his boy bouquet. 😉
I’m not quite sure how this all came about. There comes a point (actually a few) times during the day where I desperately need something to do because we are all bored. When you’re in a house for four years, it does it to you, it just does. I try to plan ahead, (I usually have my days planned out a head so I can be overly prepared as I call it) but sometimes I need to wing it. The kids start running laps in my house. LAPS I say! It was raining and their energy needed to go somewhere besides my floors. Thinking of our Spring theme, it just all started coming together. Thank goodness for glue and paper, it makes my life so much easier 😉
Craft Supplies:
- White Paper
- Paper plate
- Different color construction paper
- Cotton balls
- Glue
- Tape
- String
First, I cut a plate in half so they could color the rainbow
You know, whatever that rainbow may look like to your toddler. Meanwhile, I started cutting out a big cloud.
They glued the cotton balls to the cloud. Then glued the strips of construction paper on the backside for the rainbow.
We let it dry and I cut out two small holes with a pencil and put string through. The rainbows are hung on the kids doors and not our Spring wall, I think they like that better.
When we were in the car later that day, my son said, “Look Mama, the clouds are crying.” I love the mind of a child, it’s so beautiful.
Happy Spring Everyone!
Love,
Mama
