Paper Plate Lion

Addie is learning the letter L this week.  I found this cute paper plate lion craft at preschool.com.
Project:  Paper Plate Lion:  Paint a paper plate orange and let dry.  Cut a piece of yellow felt into a circle so it fits in the middle of the paper plate.  Cut a mouth and nose from black felt and glue to the yellow felt circle.  Glue on googly eyes.  Glue the yellow felt circle to the middle of the painted plate.  Cut 1" tabs around the outer edge of the paper plate for the lion's mane.
Materials Needed:  paper plate, orange paint, paint brush, scissors, yellow  and black felt, googly eyes, craft glue

Mod Podge Valentine Heart Jar!

Project:  Mod Podge Valentine Heart Jar - Addie loved doing the other Valentine jar the other day, so we did another one today - just a different version.  Addie is really liking the Mod Podge - a little too much.  She really caked it onto the jar this time! 

Directions:  We ripped pieces of red, purple, and pink tissue paper into pieces and used Mod Podge to stick it to an old glass jelly jar.  When the jar was dry, Addie stuck felt, heart stickers onto the jar.  I helped her glue a large, red, felt heart to the lid and she stuck more felt, heart stickers over the top of the felt heart on the lid. 

 Materials Needed:  glass jar, red, pink, purple tissue paper, paint brush, Mod Podge, felt heart stickers, red felt, scissors, glue
