lilac craft
last year's bloomsI keep forgetting to take pictures and post about our Friday Preschool. Here's what I have planned for today:
We'll make paper lilacs using purple paint, straws, green pipe cleaners, green construction paper and white tag board.
You can probably figure this out by looking at my terribly dark photo (sorry). We'll use straws to dab the paint onto the white tag board, which, surprisingly takes awhile. I always love it when kids' crafts last longer than 5 minutes. Sometimes it takes me a very long time to prepare these crafts for my kids and then they finish lickedy-split!
Here are a couple of fun books that feature our very lovely lilac flower.
In Bunny's Noisy Book, I'll have the kids make the sounds that Bunny hears or makes. In Little Green, I'll have the kids use their fingers to imitate what Little Green, the hummingbird, does in the book (flying high and low, zipping, darting, starting, stopping, looping, etc.).

Your group is so fortunate and blessed to have you!!! You are very creative and well organized.
Very clever! Thanks for the great ideas. I think I might look to see if our library has these books and prepare the project for Lilla's preschool.
What a great May Day craft!
