Let's be honest here...I totally spaced that today was Groundhog Day! I just happened to be looking in this fab preschool activity book I got off Ebay (I had seen it on another blog, but it is older and no longer in production, so I searched Ebay and found it! Score!) I turned to the winter months activities and saw the Groundhog Day stuff, I thought to myself, "oh how cute! I wonder when Groundhog Day is?? Isn't it around the beginning of February??" Panic started to set in, and a quick Google search later revealed that it was in fact today!!! Eeeckkk!! Thank goodness I am a total craft hoarder, and had every bit of the supplies on hand!! In moments we were learning all about shadows and groundhogs and making the cutest little craft!! Go Mommy!! :)

the book! |

Ground Hog Pop-Up craft! You really don't even need this book! Just google search clip-art of groundhogs, print it out, and you are good to go!! |
|
we added googly eyes, because my "crafter-in-crime" is a three year old boy!! Enough said!! |
|
Cutting the grass! It says to use construction paper, but I had this green craft foam handy, so we opted for that! |
|
he loves to cut! |
|
gluing!! |
|

When The Farmer came in from chores, Merritt told him he had made a bear!! Ha!! |
Now the bad news....Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow!! BOOO!! I, for one, am not interested in six more weeks of winter!! Ewww!! Can we have a re-do please??!! Thanks!!
Joseph made that same craft today at school. He was so proud to show it to me when I picked him up. It really is a cute idea.
