Flubber.....4 Fun!

http://blog.mrprintables.com/a-flubber-recipe/

 

What is it that’s so magical about flubber? 

It’s a liquid and a solid, mold-able, but firm,
gooey and squishy all at the same time!
 

It’s ideal for table craft. Just throw in
a few cookie cutters, toy dishes or silicone
moulds and the possibilities are endless.

Shall We Play?

Nature and Its Wonders

http://www.icanteachmychild.com/2012/02/nature-walks-for-all-ages/

The woods is awakening
snow is slipping away
while branches sway above.
We beg you mother,
share with us again
the magical colors of hope.
Your emerald hues
that beckon the birds and
the violet of leafy-stemmed buds.
Bring us shy daffodils
who share a
beautiful canary song.
These treasured jewels
and each new leaf,
remind us of hidden gifts
this early season has to share.
