Play Dough Cupcakes

We play with play dough so much around here.  This was one fun activity that we have enjoyed over and over again.  

We had a plastic cupcake holder from a recent bakery trip.  After the cupcakes were gone, (and it didn't take long...)  we used the container to bake up some Play Dough cupcakes.  

Pinching play dough, rolling little play dough cherries and icing rolls, pressing the dough into the cupcake sections...there is some great Fine Motor Play going on here! 

Your cupcakes are served!

Spring Nature Hunt Flower Craft

 

We are so excited to join our friend Karyn over at Teach Beside Me as she complies a week's worth of Spring Learning and Play activities! Stop over and see what has been added to her spring themed blog hop.  Have you done any Spring-themed activities?  Link them up!

 

 

 

 

Spring Fun!

We have been loving the warmer weather recently.  Digging up worm, running around the yard, and playing in the dirt is happening daily around here!

 

We went for a Nature Hike one day recently and took along a bucket to collect all kinds of fun Spring-y items: flowers, acorn tops, tree buds, blossoms...

 

When we got back to the house, we did a little crafting with our Spring Treasures. 

I cut out some tulip shapes from cardstock and contact paper.  The kids created a collage of our collected items.

 

Baby Girl (18 months) loved this activity!

 

((look at those knuckle dimples!  The chubby belly! The dirty fingernails! I can't stand the cuteness in this picture!!))

 

 

The kids stuck the nature treasures onto the contact paper and we glued the cardstock to the contact paper to keep the little bits in place.

 

 

 We taped a green popsicle stick to each flower and placed them into a basket of paper filler.

 

It's a pretty Spring reminder of our fun Nature Hike!

 

Have you gone on a Nature Hike this spring?  Found any treasures?  What did you do with them?
