Oh how I love having kids in school. The kids are bringing home fun things that they do all of the time and a lot of the time we end up doing them with the other kids that didn't get the chance to do them. I helped Lincoln's class make these cute lions for their bulletin board for the month of March (you know "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb"). I ended up making them with the other two kids on one of our lazy Sunday afternoons that I am loving.
All you need are paper plates, crayons, strips of orange, brown or yellow (or all three), glue, a pencil (to roll up the paper strips and curl your lion's mane), and cotton balls. So easy, the kids could do them themselves and it kept them busy for a while, which is always a plus.
The lambs they went a little crazy with the cotton balls. Palmer pointed out that lambs have wool all over their faces so he and Hunter were determined that it be as life like as possible. So, they colored some eyes, nose and mouth and put the cotton balls everywhere else.
This was my lamb. We forgot to do the ears, but it was still cute and fun. Thanks for the idea Ms. Jensen!
