Springing it Up

The ground may still be covered in snow, there may still be -20 wind smacking you in the face at 40 km/hour, and you may still need to wear your boots, but nevertheless Spring is here!  Even if only in spirit!  Despite all of this, the temperature is noticeably getting warmer, and there were even a few really muddy days today from it getting so warm (aka -11).  Regardless, the theme at the daycare this month has been Spring so I've decided to put up pictures of my favourite crafts and some cute facepaints I did.  Enjoy!


Hilarious bunnies.



Unicorn-princess.



Dog-princess.  As you can see princesses are a running theme when it comes to facepaint... I try to get them to diversify a bit, so they often end up picking a half-something, half-princess--that's right, indoctrinating the valuable lesson of compromise from an early age!


Un poisson.



Une girafe.



Nanook.



Cocos....



Coucou!



'Sup butterflies!  We made some sweet butterfly wings, the kids painted them and then I meticulously and painstainkingly "laminated" all of them (on both sides) using clear packing tape.



Just a couple of butterflies hangin' out.  The cutest part was that once the wings were all taped up, strung and ready to go, the kids wore them and played around in them all afternoon.



Just a butterfly reading a story to another butterfly.  This is especially cute because the girl you see reading the story is always really keen on imitating grown-ups (and I can only assume she is imitating me here because I had read them that book earlier that week aaw).



Bird on a branch!  (You can't see it here, but the bird moves around on the branch thanks to my favourite arts-and-crafts prop: the popsicle stick!)



Bird with very orderly nest and leaves.



Cool bird.



This kid loves lashes.
