paintings, egg carton flowers, and American Girl doll clothes

Last week when we were using felt for another project the girls decided to cut out felt to make accessories for their dolls. C made both aprons and K made the hat.

I was very proud of C she improved tremendously between the two aprons.

Details of K's stitching as the hat progressed her stitches got bigger but still I think she did great for six.

my example for the kids

I did these paintings with the entire class. They are based on this post by that artist woman. While the kids painted I told them to let me know what type of animal they wanted in their painting and I would take care of it for them. I  googled silhouettes and cut them out for the kids and they glued them to their paintings.

Sample wreath I made for the class

This was a bonus craft for the classroom and not a take-home. I let the kids paint what flowers they wanted but they had to paint all their flowers the same color.


I glued the flowers onto a picture matte that I painted green. I added pom-poms for the centers. Then K painted a butterfly and I helped her to assemble it.

The butterfly is made of tp rolls glued onto tissue paper.
