More Spring Activities!!

The children at You're Invited loved creating these flowers! I wish I could remember which blog I saw the use of the paper towel rolls (I promise to remember next time I post a borrowed activity) as flower petals. Flatten the paper towel roll before you cut it. Use water/milk/soda bottle lids and any fabric or construction paper for stem and leaves. It was great to watch the friends concentrate their eye-hand coordination to get the glue on the thin sides of the paper towel roll petals.

Im constantly asked by preschool teachers about 3 dimensional art activities because it is required in the ECERS Art item to get a 7. This is a great spring art idea!!

Be prepared for a lot of glue to be used :)!!

Spring Activities!!

I love Spring!! It's my favorite season because its not too hot yet here in SoCal but its definitely warm enough to spend all day outside if we want! Here are some of the fun we've been having the last few weeks!!

Using styrofoam shapes and baskets of pipe cleaners, feathers, straws and plastic flowers the friends made some beautiful creations!

We also used the plastic flowers for some counting fun!

We CAN'T do activities with plastic flowers unless we also provide real flowers too! Every year we do spring gardening!! This year we did lots of herbs, strawberries, a butterfly garden and some mystery seeds :)
