Fat Tuesday

Today was Fat Tuesday also known as Mardi Gras!
We made some fun Jester hats to wear I used different colors of construction paper and cut them into triangle wave type shapes. I taped them onto the inside of the brim.
For the mask I used foam I traced the kids hands on and then cut them out the kids then taped the hands together overlapping each other just a little bit. We then used the scrap pieces from the foam and decorated the mask! Such a fun day!

Dr. Seuss Birthday Part 2

The kids really enjoyed making these hats!! We layered red and white construction paper to resemble the Cat in the Hats hat!

"Q" Week- Quilt

For Q Week we made paper quilts. We took some construction paper, Stamps, and Crayons



The Kids each stamped and colored their own papers. I put glue on the backs of the papers and they organized it.. Even the baby got in on the act!



"P" Week- Potato Painting

These awesome works of art have been made by potatoes!! Can you believe that?
What you need is Construction paper, We used Pink for P
Potatoes, and Cookie Cutters.

I cut the Potatoes with the cutters and placed them on individual plates along with paint



The kids seemed to get the hang of it pretty fast!! This was a ton of fun and definitely will do it again!!

"O" Week- Onion Painting

I was going to use an Orange but we didnt have any so we went with an Onion..
Cut an onion in half, use red and yellow paint. Let the kids dip the Onion in the paint and place it on the construction paper.


"O" Week- Octopus in the Ocean

We used a blue background for the ocean. I traced both hands of each child onto Orange construction paper. While you are cutting out hands let the kids color their Oceans, apparently my kids made fish and sharks, hmmm... Overlap the hands so that there are 8 legs for the Octopus, then glue it onto your ocean scene. I also cut out some seaweed to give it a more Ocean type feel.

Valentines Day

Valentine's Day we had tons of fun we made teddy bear picture frames.
I used foam for all the pieces except his its eyes. Then I drew on the features for the kids.


We made fun crowns for them to wear!
Super easy 2 pieces of construction paper, 2 pipe cleaners, and I cut out some hearts for the top!
