This project idea comes from the May 2012 issue of Family Fun magazine.
Addie and Tana each painted a piece of white paper using water color paint. When the paint was dry I folded the paper in half, and traced both of their hands. Then I cut out the shape! Materials Needed: white paper, paint brush, water color paint, scissors, pencil
My blog features the activities and projects I do with my children. I have 3 children age 11, 7 and 4. I watch an infant, plus my 4 year old nephew! This blog highlights the activities/projects we create during the week. It also provides a way for me to organize all of the activities and projects we do, and it is a great way to share the projects/activities. I hope this blog will become a great resource and inspire creativity.

Pretty Paper Daffodils!
These Daffodils were so simple to make. I think they would make great Mothers Day gifts! I put the two flowers Addie made in a small, glass vase on our counter - they look adorable. This is our 2nd springtime daffodil project this week. We did both of the projects on rainy, dreary, cold days! Hopefully, the weather will get brighter and warmer.
