Earth Week Activities

We've had a fun week full of activities to celebrate Earth Week! Here are a few of the projects we've been working on...

Butterflies made from coffee filters:

We don't use these coffee filters anymore since we have a Keurig, so this was a good way to make use of them. I wish I could have gotten a picture of Wren's face when we hung them on her art wall. She was sooooo proud of herself!


Earth Day Coloring Pages:


Wren is completely into anything having to do with writing, coloring, using chalk/markers/crayons/pencils. She loves coloring, so I printed out these sheets and the three of us colored. Wren was in charge of keeping track of all of the crayons (we have a little hoarder on our hands!): 



Painted Earth:


This turned out so cute! It was really easy, too. I cut out a circle with construction paper, globbed green and blue paint around it...
...and then Wren helped me spin it around and around and around... 
...and then she decided to transfer the paint from one paper to another. With her hands.
We love getting messy!!

We've also been reading this book:
This is the cutest book! It is about a little town of animals and it talks about each of them doing their part, from using their cloth bags, hanging their laundry out to dry, making crafts with recycled paper, etc. It's really cute, has beautiful colors and pictures and also is a counting book, which is something we know will be a big lesson coming up.

(Thanks for the book, Smith Family!!) 

Today we went to Indy for the Great Cloth Diaper Change, and we'll be celebrating tomorrow by starting to plant our garden! I'm so thankful for my crafty little lady!!

Little Birdie Cottontail

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to turn Wren's cute little fluffy bum into a little cottontail. Tell me this isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen!

Little bunnies still have tantrums...they just look really adorable doing so...
