Down on the Farm

 Welcome

Last week we had fun exploring and creating with our Down on the Farm theme.

Lots of discussions and playtimes around the animals that live on the farm and what they eat.

So here's what we did last week.

Farm Gluing and Colouring

Birds

 

Hello

What a wonderful time of year here in Canada as Spring emerges and warmer temperatures prevail.

My little people wanted to learn more about birds and wanted to go bird watching so that's what we did....so much fun and so much learning happened.

So here's what we did this week.

Cardinals Nesting

Simple circle folded and cut to make the wings.

See here for step by step

Bird Nest

Owl

We made this cute little owl craft by folding some brown paper to make the trunk of the tree.

Paper Plate Bird

We made these simple paper plate Robins and of course, we had to add a worm to his mouth.

Paper Birds

These are simple printouts that the kids coloured.

Standing Bird

Bird Feeder

BIRD WATCHING DAY

Paper Tube Binoculars

Bird Watching Day was such a wonderful experience.  We took our binoculars and our bird books and headed down to the woods.  We saw or heard the birds in our books.  

We heard a few that weren't in our books, so when we got home, I printed a few more off and they coloured them to add to their book.  

Amazing how many of the birds they could identify.

We also saw the trilliums (wildflower of Ontario).

This was a piece of bark we found on the ground, so we turned it over.  The woodpecker had pecked holes in it and the bugs had burrowed tunnels into the bark.  So interesting.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Celebrating Mom

 Welcome

What a great week we had creating and celebrating all the Moms.

The excitement was high as the kids made all the goodies to gift to their Moms.  

So here's what we did last week.

Flower Baskets

These simple flower baskets were fun to decorate and super easy to make.

Mother's Day Banner

This was a decorative banner made just for Mom.

Flower Frig Magnets

We made these pretty flowers from paper tubes.  I added a big magnet on the back to stick on the frig.

Flower Bouquet

A simple bouquet of tulips and some daffodils.

Mother's Day Card

I printed off the flower, then the kids scrunched up little pieces of tissue paper and glued them over the flower.  It really made for a lovely result.

Tulips

The kids loved colouring the tulips that we made into a card.

Bird Feeders

I glued craft sticks together to create this cute little bird feeder.  

The kids colored the sticks and we added some foam flowers for a finishing touch. 

They were all so pleased and excited to hang them up at home.

My Mom Rocks!

The kids drew a picture of their Mom and then I asked them the questions about her.

The answers were quite hilarious!!

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
