Wildlife Feeders

Anyone who knows Mimi knows my love for all animals.  This is something our daughter is instilling in her kids as well.  I truly believe children who are taught to love and care for animals carry that on into how they act with their friends.

This simple craft is fun to make and you get to reap the benefits of it for quite some time as well.  It requires only 2 items:  pipe cleaners and cheerios.  What is even better is that there is not a lot of help needed from adults.  Kids can feel very proud of what they make “all by themselves!”  The benefits to wildlife is an added bonus as well.

Rainy Day Crafts

Stuck inside?  Here’s a fun craft to do with the kiddos.

Items Needed:

Roll of Butcher Paper

Marker (for outlining child’s body)

Markers or Crayons for the kids to color after you have traced them.  Remind them they can make themselves whoever they want to be.  It is fun to see what they have in mind for themselves.

You can also provide extra items such as jewels, pipe cleaners, fuzz balls, googly eyes, etc. for them to glue on.

Tape …Hang that work of art up for all to see!
