We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of activities for you and your families every day at 1:00 pm. Watch for weekend Boredom Busters on Saturday and/or Sunday. See which ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom of this blog.
Today's theme is All About Green!
Green trees, green grass, green vegetables! Spring has sprung, and we're excited to start seeing so much green again!
Tree Crafts:
Apple Tree Sponge Craft: this is such a fun and unique way to paint a tree!
Cupcake Liner Apple Tree: we seem to have an apple theme going on, so while you're making this craft, check out this tissue paper apple craft!
Fuse Beads Tree Craft: fuse beads (or perler beads) make awesome crafts! Make sure an adult handles the hot iron, and the kids will have a blast making these!
Frog Crafts:
Construction Paper Frog: this cute frog is sitting on a lily pad! Roll your frog(s) as big or as small as you'd like for this craft!
Little Speckled Toilet Paper Roll Frog: such a cute and creative way to use up some of those toilet paper rolls lying around!
Check out this fun paper dancing frog!
Yoda Crafts:
With Star Wars Day coming up, now's a great time to make some Yoda-inspired crafts!
Yoda Paper Bag Puppet: super cute, super simple! He even has a paper Jedi robe!
Baby Yoda Egg Carton Craft: the only thing cuter than Baby Yoda is a Baby Yoda made out of an egg carton!
Check out these super cute Yoda Origami Post-It Bookmarks!
Hopefully these activities help break up the day, and get your family engaged in creating some fun with the colour green!
