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. 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. You will have a beautiful rose to give to your lovely mother on Mother's day! Vous aurez une belle rose à donner à votre maman pour la fête des Mères! You can also wrap a bouquet in silk paper and cellophane paper like the real deal ;) Vous pouvez également envelopper un joli bouquet de roses dans du papier de soie et du papier cellophane comme ceux que l'on retrouve chez le fleuriste!
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!
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. 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. What you will need: - One sheet of white cardstock paper per card, or in my case, I was making 4 cards so I purchased a sheet of poster board and cut it into fourths. - Black acrylic paint - paint brush - scissors - glue stick - small gold star stickers - one red piece of construction paper - a picture of your child or children - Black marker to write on card or you can print out your words on the computer and cut and glue them on like I did. Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Isn't it cute?
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." 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. I am very impressed with the quality of the card and the best part is it ships within 24 hours of you ordering it. 2. 3. 4.
