Post at Pooh Corner: Links to Christopher Robin's Friends!

      Winnie-the-Pooh, also called Pooh Bear, is a fictional anthropomorphic bear created by A. A. Milne. The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children’s verse book When We Were Very Young (1924) and many more in Now We Are Six (1927). All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

    "When Cincinnati Children's asked kids to send in Valentine cards to spread a little love at the hospital for Valentine's Day, we thought we would get a few hundred responses. Instead, we received more than a few thousand. Packages arrived from schools, churches, scout troops and former patients. And the boxes just kept coming. We are sharing them here so you can get a glimpse at the smiles Valentines brought to patients and employees. It might just lift your spirits and remind you what this day is all about."

    100 Spooky Crafts & Treats For Halloween

    You needn't worry about using patterns for this Halloween craft
     because the even a novice artist can come up with their own charming
    version of this pumpkin patch!
          Spook your own set of  paper jack-o-lanterns with a little bit of glittery morning mist; all it takes is just a few simple supplies. Gather a pair of scissors, some white school glue, a black felt tipped pin and construction paper in orange, green, black and white, plus transparent glitter to craft a similar picture to the one shown here. 
          I chose to mount the jack-o-lanterns onto a large sheet of black construction paper. Then I cut a large number of lop sided circular shapes from the orange construction paper. Paste on black shaped openings for the large toothy grins and grimaces from additional black construction paper. Then cut and paste green stems and vines from the green construction paper. I painted my white construction paper with a pearlescent white paint before cutting it out to add eyes and teeth, but you could use just plain white paper if you'd prefer. I then added the details to these frightened pumpkins with a black felt tipped marker. Squeeze a wavy line or two of white glue onto  the surrounding dark sky and add the transparent glitter to finish off this spooky pumpkin patch, just in time for Halloween!
