Shark Hat

The kids loved wearing and pretending to be sharks.

Shark Game

This simple paper plate game was a fun one.

The kids coloured the shark and plate, then we glued it over the hole I cut in the plate.

They used a pom pom as the fish and holding the plate, tried to roll it into the shark's mouth.

Baby Shark

The kids loved this one and we sang 'Baby Shark' all day!

Happy Father's Day Dad!

Welcome

I took an unplanned blog break...sometimes life gets in the way with being so busy.

Springtime mean outside and being in the garden which takes a lot of my time.

Trying to get back to it and will do my best considering summer is my busiest time of year with a full house of kiddos out from school.

Anyways, we celebrated the Dads with lots of creating and here is what we did.

Dad Badge

We used a paper plate to create our 'DAD' badges.

Pizza for Dad

Footprints

I traced the child's foot and we glued it over the Dad foot.

Let's Hang Out

I traced the child's hand and we turned it into a sloth.  I created the saying to go with it on my computer.

Trophy for Best Dad

We made these fun trophies by gluing a paper cup onto a paper ice cream dish.

We coloured and decorated them.

Desktop Easels

I used craft sticks to create these fun little easels and then we put a stack of post-it notes on the easel for Dad's desk.  The kids had fun colouring them.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

 

All About MOM!

 Good Morning

Last week we celebrated our Moms with lots of creating.

The kids get so excited when making anything for their parents. This is such a new thing for my littlest ones as they are just learning to craft and they love it.

So, here's what we did last week.

Mother's Day Bouquet

We made these sweet bouquets for our Moms and added the poem on the back.

Flower Holder

I glued these flower holders together and the kids decorated them.

On the inside there is a plastic bottle so it can hold real flowers and water but could also be used for pencils etc.

MOM

I used some low tack tape to mask off the letters and the kids scribbled all over the paper.

I removed the tape to reveal the 'MOM' and the kids decorated with some flowers.

Great activity for the very young who are learning how to hold a pencil/crayon.

Mother's Day Card

Well off for another busy, crafty filled week.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look!!
