I plan to add a mail box that opens and holds felt mail.

Farm Mat

I am currently working on a Farm Mat like the one on weefolkart. She knittted hers and I am crocheting mine. Its a great way to use up left over yarn. I tried to use some different textiles. The orange is rope, the brown is stips of brown wool (used to make teddybears) with green yarn mixed in. The others are just different types of yarn with different textures.

Here is the block that I am currently working on. I thought it kinda of looked like rows of cabbage or lettuce.

I got some new yarn at Micheals today and some Femo clay to make veggies for the kids to play with on the farm mat. I also found some cute little carts at the thrift store for the kids to collect the veggies in.

I was lucky that there was three...one for each kid.

St. Patty's Day Activity

Finding the Leprechaun Gold

When I picked my kiddos up from school I told them that while I was getting ready upstairs I thought I heard some Leprechauns moving around down stairs. They were so excited to get home and see what the Leprechauns had left. When we got home the first thing they saw was the green ribbon trail that led to the Leprechaun gold. We followed the ribbon to the hidden gold in the mouth of the dragon. The gold was yellow M&Ms that I bought at Wal-Mart (you can buy single color packages).

Following the trail.

Bag of Chocolate GOLD!

Other St. Patty's Activities:

When I was teaching I used to have a small set of plastic gardening tools (doll house size) During this time of year we grew small plants in the classroom. I would put the gardening tools in the plants so that when my kindergartners came in in the morning they thought that the Leprechauns had been in the classroom I would also put little footprints up to a bottle of apple juice that I had colored with food coloring so it looked like we had Leprechaun juice.

Supplies:
String
Tape
Fruit Loops



Directions:
Cut string so that it is long enough to put over your child’s head with fruit loops on it tied. Wrap the tape around one end of the string to make your needle. Tie one fruit loop to the other end of the string to keep the fruit loops from slipping off. Give your kids a bowl of fruit loops and let them get to work.
