I was in a serious time/no mess pinch. We had a realtor coming over yesterday @ 5, fairly last minute notice, to take pictures of the house to get it on the market, and I couldn't make a mess and it had to be QUICK. So, I started thinking, and I started Googling, and I came to this: Popsicle sticks, white pipe cleaners, medium-large pink pom-poms, and a dot of glue.... that is it. In the end, the house isn't on the market because Parma market is in the dumps. So, we are here for awhile still.
Quite simply, you just wrap 3 pipe cleaners around the popsicle sticks, and glue a pink pom-pom to the top. Instant Bunny faces:
Iris made hers all by herself:
Penny asked for help :)
Today was a little more fun. It is the first day of spring, technically, but it is snowing, 23 degrees and cold as all get out! We are supposed to get 1-3 tonight... first day of spring... yippee.I thought it would be cute to make plate flowers. They didn't turn out as nicely as I had hopped, they don't really look like flowers. But both girls REALLY enjoyed it. We painted small paper plates different colors. then cut circles of construction paper. We glued the construction paper to the rim of the painted plates, then took scissors and snipped around the edges to look like the petals of a flower. Then, we glued a popsicle stick to the back of the "flower" to make it look like a stem... Unfortunately, they didn't turn out as cute as they looked like in my mind.
Iris' flower, aside from cutting the circle of construction paper she did EVERYTHING by herself
Penny's flower
My flower... it looks weird
Finally: Rock candy SUCCESS! It took longer than i expected it to, it looks funny, but we got to eat it tonight, and it tasted very yummy :)
Oh, and PS: Fish is still alive and swimming and very happy. :-)
