 Today I cut up an egg carton so we could make caterpillars. I poked a hole with a pen to add antenna's. Then the girls painted them green

Here is a pick of all the bug crafts we did this past week. Next week this craft corner with be done up in under the sea. All the crafts over the next week will be underwater animals. Check back soon for some great ideas

Speechless Sunday

Owl handprint craft

Today we made an owl, and for the wings be used our hand print. You could do this on really nice paper and say something like " Whooo's the best Dad ever?"  and use for a gift for fathers day. 

Ladybug craft

 Today we made a ladybug craft. All you need is a paper plate, black construction paper, glue and red paint.

 Paint the plate red and then add black circles for the spots, a black line for the middle, black half circle for face and little black rectangles for the legs. Autumn added wiggle eyes to hers. You can make it as simple or detailed as is age appropriate for your child.

Happy crafting!

coffee filter butterfly

This morning we did another butterfly craft. All you need is a coffee filter and water colors.

 After it dried I scrunched it up and wrapped a pipe cleaner around it. (you could also use a close pin).

My girls love to do crafts

 Today we made these beautiful butterflies. First I filled some plastic eggs with watered down paint, then I let the girls shake the paint (there was 2 holes at the bottom of the eggs) onto half of the butterfly. Then we folded the other half over  and rubbed it down and then the paint transferred to the other wing of the butterfly.

 It turned out pretty
