Cross Window Mosaic
Apr
Continuing with our Easter theme we made this mosaic today.
I put out a piece of contact paper. Hailey put a cross on it and then added pieces of construction paper in a variety of colors.
She added lots of colors.
I cut it to look like a window in church.
Hailey hung it up on our sliding glass door.
She loved how it turned out!
Palm Branches
Apr
We are still doing our Easter theme and this week we’re focusing on the real reason for Easter. Today Hailey learned more about Palm Sunday.
Hailey cut up some pieces from a palm branch that we got at church on Sunday.
The she glued a dirt road onto a piece of construction paper.
People put their coats and palm branches on the road as Jesus road his donkey into Jerusalem so that the donkey would have something soft to walk on.
So Hailey glued some coats onto the road.
She put on her pieces of palm branch that she cut out.
The finished road.
Yarn Egg
Apr
We’re continuing our Easter theme this week with this yarn egg.
First Hailey tried to blow up a balloon.
Once it was blown up (not by Hailey) we tied a string on it.
We mixed together equal parts of glue and water…
cut up some Easter colored yarn…
then wrapped the yarn around the balloon. (We put a chair up on the table and then hung the balloon from it so we could work on it.) The Yarn was falling off the balloon, so I remixed the glue/water and used less water.
We probably should have added more yarn to the balloon- but it kept sliding off and I was getting frustrated. If you’ve ever made this before- do you have any idea why the yarn was falling off?
Once it was completely dry we carefully popped the balloon and pulled the balloon out.
Our finished yarn egg hanging in our dining room.
