Bees
For this craft, you will need a black piece of paper, yellow yarn, white paper, google-eyes (or just draw your own), glue, a scissor, and crayons (if you would like to add more details).
Trace a round object on your black paper to create a circle and cut it out. Cut three marks on either side of the circle, only cutting in a little bit. Take your string and wrap it around the body of the bee to make its stripes. You can tie it off on the back or just tuck it in. Then glue on the google-eyes. Next, take the white paper and cut out two wings. You can color them however you wish. Glue them on the back of your bee.
Ice Sensory Play
For this craft we included various textured objects to include in an ice sensory play experience. You can use the red cup to freeze your objects if you would like, or find other sized containers to use. All you will need is water, food coloring (not required, but a fun addition), utensils to dig with, and a freezer!
Place your objects how you wish in the container you are freezing them in. Then add water (and food coloring, if using) and freeze. When they are frozen, take the ice outside and play! You can dig out objects, watch them melt, speed things up with warm water, etc. The whole point is to experiment and explore.
Rock Buddies
This week we are making these adorable rock buddies! All you will need is a rock, yarn, two googly eyes, some liquid glue, felt, and a scissor.
You can also decorate your rock with some markers or paint if you’d like, and can just draw on the eyes and nose.
Cut up your yarn into little pieces to make the hair. Then glue them onto the rock where you want them. Next glue on the two googly eyes and cut a nose out of felt. You can also use the felt to cut other shapes and glue on. Let your rock dry!!
