Today’s activity is making hand prints. this will end up being a butterfly and you will need two or three different colored paints. Use black paint to paint the children’s middle finger down to the bottom of the palm. Then use either one or two different colors to fill in the rest of the hand. (I use one color for the girls and another for the boys.) Once the hand is painted have the children press it down on a piece of paper. as soon as the paint is dry draw in the antenea for the butterfly. Then write the some where on the paper,
This isnt just a butterfly
As you can plainly see.
I make it with my hand
Which is a part of me.
It comes with lots of love
Especially to say
I hope you have a very
Happy Mothers Day.
This could even be printed out and then pasted onto the paper.

I apologize for messing up the schedule already, but apparently this coming weekend is mother’s day so I should be writing about ideas and activities for them to do on this topic. So, here goes..
For yesterday’s activity you can let kids draw a picture of what they think mom looks like. Give them all the necessary crayons, markers and etc. Then help them write a special message to mom on the picture, signing their name.
For today, you can make precut shapes of the Letter M and have them fill it with colored mini marshmallows and glue, it is a gift for mom for mothers day.
I will still post about community helpers this week so that you can do both if you wish…

Easter is in just over a week and it is sometimes difficult to come up with Easter ideas that really center around Jesus and celebrating his resurrection.
There are of course many coloring pages you can print out, but the fun thing about crafts is they give you time to discuss things more, such as the story behind the craft.
Having thought about this I wanted to share with you a couple of craft ideas you can do with preschoolers to bring out the True spirit of the Easter holiday.
