Art & Play - Baby Animals!



Spring and baby animals go together perfectly, and with Easter around the corner, what better baby animals to make than bunnies and lambs?  Using some cotton balls, beans, felt and googly eyes, the children made adorable mini-lambs and mini-bunnies. It was a great fine motor activity that got them gluing and cutting! Love how they turned out! They look fantastic as little Easter decorations.

After the children finished their mini baby animals, we read a story called “Seven Hungry Babies” by Candice Fleming. Everyone laughed, especially the moms, when we got to the end of the book and the mama bird was about to pass out but the baby chicks were all waking up hungry again. Safe to say, all the moms were pretty glad that they don’t have seven hungry babies! We finished up our circle time with a little dancing to the song “Over in the Meadow” where the children moved like the animals in the song.
