What's up...

Even though the weather has been less than desirable with the cold and rain, I am enjoying my week off!  I have been trying to soak up every ounce of my princess as possible!!

Because we have been stuck inside more than I would like, we have had the opportunity to do some crafts in preparation of Easter.

These crafts are from some of my favoirte blogs that you should check out if you haven't already.  You can find the links here:

Cardboard Bunnies and Lamb

Handprint Chick

She has also been practicing identifying her lower case letters in different ways, including the Barrel of Monkeys activity I posted about here.

Although I am trying to not think about school, it is pretty much impossible!  I have found some great activities on your blogs that I have printed and cannot wait to put to use.  I have also been busy creating a game to play with my 3rd graders to help prepare them for certain areas of the NYS ELA Assessment, which they will be taking one week after we return from break.

Off to go color some eggs!!

SomeBUNNY Loves You Craft

My lil’ one came down with a cold over the weekend, so I tried to lift her spirits by keeping her busy with a little Easter bunny craft. We bought this kit at Target for $5 (it came with about 8 foam eggs, lots of pre-cut foam stickers, sequins, glitter glue, etc…).

We used her hand to make the bunny with paint.  I then added the face, words, and some ribbon to the ears.  She finished it up by adding the stickers and sequins around the egg. (Don’t mind the snowman shirt and the tutu, she insists on dressing herself nowadays and this was only her fourth outfit for the day.)

Now we just need to get them all in the mail to brighten the days of some of our family!
