Frog Felt Lily Pad Sticker Art

June 4, 2016 By Suzette Salmon Leave a Comment

We’ve heard this so many times April showers bring May flowers.  These love bugs love to splish splash in any body of water.  Hopefully, your children wear the correct gears before jumping in puddles…then again children often jump in and not think.  Why does mom or dad get upset about changing shoes and clothes for the fourth time before school starts in minutes?  It’s such an easy fix to get another set of clothes from the closet.  If mom and dad were prepared they wouldn’t be late as usual.

For those rainy days and to avoid the chaos of redressing remember a shower of rain =  muddy puddles and call for Rainboots.  April and May are the months when rain boots, rain jackets, and umbrellas greet Miss Sue every morning.  On our backyard adventure and splashing we heard frogs, birds and dug for worms.  We then completed this craft project about frogs.

For this craft, you will need green felt.  This you can get at any hobby store including Walmart.  I cut this in a large circle.  I made a couple of these for each child.

Grab your scissors ( the kiddie ones worked).  Fold the felt in half then cut a triangle shape.

See how it looks when you unfold.  The triangular cut out is that little dip in the lily pad.  You can make the size to your liking.   I made enough for each child.

 

Add your three-dimensional frog or whatever ones you can find. If all you have are the stickers this will look good too.  I  used hot glue to adhere the frog as it’s a little heavier than the sticker ones.

 

Children add their stickers.  If the sticker doesn’t stick to the felt as you would like then, use tacky glue to help.

Isn’t this cute?!  Some added pom poms to their work.

Frogs and Turtles do live in ponds together but, I would not put them both in a cage as the turtle may eat the frog (so much for the food chain).

Hi Neighbor, I wish every child could have the opportunity to simply be a child and learn through the affordances of outdoor discoveries.

Small environments offer something deeply valuable—time, intimacy, flexibility, and closeness to everyday life. Hands on learning with freedom to explore and no time for worksheets. 
Sometimes the richest learning experiences are the simplest🍃

Your environment invites children to explore, create, problem-solve, add new knowledge to old, and gain mastery.

Your backyard is enough to create spaces for young children to explore, discover, and simply be children.

It’s the language of childhood.

Proud Mama Moment 💛

My daughter graduated from high school earlier this summer and received a full Trustee Scholarship to college, where she will be studying American Sign Language (ASL).

It’s such a full-circle moment—she is the reason I started my home childcare 17 years ago. She grew up watching me use sign language with the babies in my care, giving them a way to communicate before they had the words to speak.

I’ve always seen her use the signs and knew she was interested in ASL, but I never realized how seriously she was considering it as a career path. She has told others, “My mom spoke to nonverbal kids, and I want to do the same.”

To my fellow home educators: your children are watching you. I want you to know the value of the work you do for others—and to love and value the career you have chosen.

The little girl who watched her mama sign with babies is now heading to college to study ASL herself.

We are so incredibly proud of you, our little Sunny 🌞. Congratulations, my Trustee Scholar. Go make your mark. ❤️
