Valentine's Flower

Here are some sweet flowers are a lot cheaper than roses and they won't die.

But best of all they are made with love.






Cheyanne and I used: Construction paper, scissors, glue and a chenille stem.

(I also used a stapler to reinforce the flower.)









Cut the paper into strips about an inch thick. I used 4 strips of paper.


Glue together an "X" with 2 strips.











Make another "X" and glue it on top making a star shape.


Then cut the strips in half up to the center.









Place glue on the tips and fold over to the center.













Fold all strips over to form a flower.


You may want to add a staple to hold it all down.










Glue a circle in the middle.




Add a chenille stem to make a hanger.

What a cute idea! I doubt I'll be getting in flowers this Valentine's so maybe I better make some for myself!

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
