The Chick that Looks Like a Ghost

This is one of those projects that looks a lot cuter inside your head.

I traced Hailey’s foot on yellow paper and she glued it onto another piece of construction paper.

She added some cute little feet.

Then I thought it would look cute if Hailey used her fingerprint as eyes.

But it looked more like a ghost than a chick.

So we added wiggly eyes instead and it looked much better.

With a Moo Moo Here…

Today we made a cute cow to add to our farm theme for the week.

I found this cow head template and had Hailey color it.

Then she painted 4 clothespins brown.

I cut the bottom off of an orange juice carton and we wrapped it in white paper.

Hailey taped the head on.

Then she added some spots.

She added a pipe cleaner for a tail.

Once the clothespins were dry she added them to the box.

The finished cow.

Cute, Messy, Muddy Pig

Our theme for this week is farm animals and today we made a cute little pig.

I had a cute pig printable in one of my Mailbox magazines that I used, but you can use any pig printable you can find and just copy it onto pink paper.  Hailey glued the pig to a piece of construction paper.

Then she mixed equal parts of shaving cream and glue.

Then we added some brown paint to make it look like mud.  (It actually looked kind of like chocolate moose and looked pretty tasty although it smelled like shaving cream so I wasn’t tempted to eat it.)

Hailey added the mud to the pig.

The finished pig- the paint dried puffy.

Fluffy Little Chick

This week our theme is going to be Farm Animals.  Today we made a cute little chick.

First I put some yellow paint in a bag and added some cotton balls.  Hailey shook the bag to spread the paint around.

Then she squished and squeezed to make sure the paint was spread.

Hailey taped orange pipe cleaners on the back of a yellow oval.

Then she put glue all over the front of the oval.

Hailey put her yellow cotton on the oval.

Then she added some eyes

and a beak.

The finished fluffy little chick.
