Father's Day. We've been busy this week working on some of our Father's Day creations. This year we made the familiar handmade photo frame out of craft sticks and my boys colored a special picture for their Daddy to attach to the inside. I thought about putting a photograph inside but decided it was more special being personalized like this. They also wrote messages to their Daddy on the back. Luke is a dinosaur fanatic so when I asked him how much he loved Daddy he said, "I love Daddy so much, as much as I love my dinosaurs. " If you know how much he LOVES his dinos, you know what a sweet sentiment this is to his Daddy.
And now that Andy is starting to write, he wrote his own message on the back. Our Daddy is a teacher at our church one Sunday a month, and he recently scored a small writing desk that was placed on someone's curb with a "FREE" sign on it. Last but certainly not least, for my own Dad and Grandad, I personalized a photo greeting card for them from Hallmark.
Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Mother's Day. This past week we read the book "Guess How Much I Love You" by Sam McBratney. Such a Darling Book! It is about two bunnies, Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare. Little Nutbrown Hare attempts to show Big Nutbrown Hare how far-reaching his love is for him. Then, as they share just how much they love one another, the adorable Little Nutbrown Hare realizes that love can be quite difficult to measure. Both my boys loved this story! After discussing measurements of how much the boys loved their Grandma's, they decided they loved them "To the Stars and back" so this is the theme we used to make our card. Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Also, if you choose to print out the words for the card, you will need to get these ready. 5. 6. 7. Isn't it cute? For instance, the inside could say, "I Love You clear to the Top of the Tallest Building!
" This card would also work great for a Valentine's Day Card for any loved one. Papillon à mémo. Papillon aux mains d'enfants. Activités pour le Préscolaire: fête des Mères. On time for Mother's day, here is a simple craft to make. Dip red yarn into white glue (not to much glue). Put the yarn into a little round plastic container and let it dry. Juste à temps pour la fête des Mères, voici un bricolage simple à réaliser. Trempez de la laine rouge dans de la colle blanche (pas trop de colle, cependant).
While it dries, cut the leaves and the floral receptacles in a green sheet of paper. Pendant que le tout sèche, couper des feuilles et des réceptacles floraux dans une feuille de papier vert. Pass the green pipe cleaner through the yarn rose. Enfiler le cure-pipe à travers la rose de laine. Now, tie the pipe cleaner. Maintenant, attachez le tout avec le cure-pipe.

Activités pour le Préscolaire: Bricolage pour la fête de Pères: je suis tes traces, papa! Un bricolage simple et qui attendrira le coeur de tous les papas...
Le message est simple: je suis tes traces papa parce que je t'aime. Je suis fier de toi et je veux être comme toi! Le matériel nécessaire est: des tampons encreurs, une feuille de papier, une photo de votre enfant et une photo de papa, des étampes de l'alphabet et des pneus de vos vieilles voitures jouets brisées. Mon fils a fait en premier une trace de pneu qui part de coin droit au bas de la feuille, et qui se dirige vers le haut, dans le coin gauche. En second lieu, il a écrit "Je suis tes traces" et il a écrit son nom. Ensemble, nous avons coupé et collé la photo de papa en haut de la feuille et la photo de mon fils en bas de la feuille dans le coin droit. Nous avons essayé de positionner de deux manières 3 pneus décoratifs et mon fils a choisi celle de dessous (même si moi je préférais celle du dessus. Bonne fête des Papas!
