Painted Hand Butterfly!

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

Pretty Pussy Willows!

The idea for these pretty pussy willows come from the April 2012 issue of Family Fun magazine. 
Directions:  I drew  long, sloping stems with brown marker on a sheet of white paper.  I added short lines along the sides of the the stems.  Addie and Tana pressed their index fingers onto a black washable ink pad for the catkins. 

Materials Needed:  white paper, brown marker, black, washable ink pad

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.
