No time for Flash Cards has a very cute hand cut butterfly craft. There’s a great song to go along, as well as a couple of book suggestions. I love the Japanese Cherry Tree craft from this site, too – also with book suggestions to go along!

What better spring table centerpiece than grass? See how beautiful a shallow pot of grass can be at Chasing Cheerios (just follow the instructions on your grass seed packet to plant)

Thanks for these super ideas. My daughter’s school was closed because our awesome Florida rainstorms caused some leaking and flooding. I was literally scrambling to find stuff for her to do inside the past few days.
We’re going to have to go for the felt map of the world soon, too. I love this idea!
Great and inspiring links.

Sounds like some great crafts. Too bad I’m not very crafty. Thanks for sharing!
Visiting for the first time from sunnydaytodaymama. Thanks so much for the nice comment on my guest appearance there.
Love the handprint and footprint crafts. Something fun to try with my daughter on a rainy day.
Great blog you’ve got here.
One Love.

Those look like great crafts! I’m always looking for ways to stay occupied during our days at home, thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for dropping by my blog- it’s nice to ‘meet’ you. Yes, my kids are going to be about 21.5 months apart, so right about the same as yours. Any advice?
All the hand and feet and fingerprint activities look fun! I really like the grass centerpiece, it’s a great idea and looks so good. Definitely one we’re going to try! Thanks for the links :)
