I have wanted to put up a banner for Spring. I also have a ton of leftover scrapbooking paper that I need to use up. James loves to glue right now, and so I drew big letters on cardstock, and cut scraps of paper for him to glue. (I did the gluing this time and he did the sticking).
This was fun because we were able to have fun and learn at the same time--sounding out letters, spelling, and talking about what season it is.
After we finished gluing, I cut the letters out and hole punched them to hang. James inserted pipe cleaners to hang them from a ribbon we ran across the mantel in the livingroom.
How much fun is this? Tomorrow we are going to make some ducks and butterflies and flowers to hang in between the letters.
