Fourth of July Headband

Continuing with our 4th of July activities, Hailey made a headband.

First I printed 2 maps of the US.  Then I cut out a star shape from card stock.

Hailey put the card stock shaped star onto the map and painted red around the outside of the star.  She made 4 stars.

Once the stars were dry she cut them out.

Then she glued the stars onto blue construction paper and we stapled it to make a headband.

Fireworks!

Hailey has been learning about the 4th of July and what the celebration is all about.  Today she made some fireworks.

First we folded a piece of construction paper in half.

Then she used a leaf and stamped red, white and blue paint onto half of the paper.

Then she folded the other half over to make a impression of the paint and opened it up.  Lastly, she sprinkled it with a little glitter.

The finished fireworks.

Father’s Day Pen Holder

I know Father’s Day is over, but I wanted to share what Hailey made this year:

We took a can with no sharp edges and washed it.  Hailey painted using water colors on a piece of paper and we glued that to the can.  She added the #1 DAD and a picture of her and Hunter.  Rich can use it to keep his pens and pencils in.

Forget-Me-Not Teacher Gift

This is what Hailey made for her teachers this year:

She decorated a flower pot with acrylic paint.  Then we added this poem:

This past year, we’ve had a blast
I sure wish that it could last
I will miss you more than a lot
And I hope you will Forget-Me-Not

We added a flower stick with her picture on it and the words “Forget-Me-Not,” some dirt in a bag with a pretty ribbon and some Forget-Me-Not seeds.
