A handy little frog craft...

       The only supplies you will need for this craft is: green, white yellow, and red construction paper, scissors, white school glue and a young person's hand to trace around.
       If you are working with students younger than five or six, the craft may be easier to accomplish with green paint and a hand print. But, as you students age, it is more of a challenge for them to trace around his or her hand and cut the shape out with scissors.
       Cut three circle shapes for the eye balls: two from green paper and one from yellow. Then cut the yellow circle in half and glue the two halves to the lower halves of the green circles. This will make your green frog friend look sleepy...
       Cut a larger green oval from construction paper for the frogs mouth. Use a green crayon to make the lips look puffy! Then cut a long red tongue from paper and curl it around your crayon. Uncurl it and glue one tip between the frog's puffy lips.
       Now you can choose to mount this silly looking frog to a bulletin board, or a paper pond scene.

Sunflower Craft Using Beans and Hands

This little fellow is preparing to assemble a giant sunflower. On the far right I have traced his hands on bright yellow construction paper. He is still too young to be able to cut the hand petals out by himself, but I try to get him excited about every step involved in the process anyway. My kindhearted companion patiently waits for me to cut out the petals while he plays in a large bin of beans on the right.
Now it is his turn to work on the sunflower. I poured a significant amount of glue onto the center of his sunflower. He patiently adds the beans one-by-one. This took him at least fifteen minutes and we discussed a great many wise things while he worked.
The following day, my little art student is ready to take his giant sunflower home.
