Being a Momma

Being A Mom is the most important job you will ever do. A day’s work in the life of a mom cannot be measured by stacks of paper, trophies won or products sold. At the end of each day, you find that there are still dirty diapers to be changed, mouths to feed and floors to clean. However, in between all these tasks that seem, at times, to be mundane, there is an incredible sense of joy that accompanies motherhood. Join with us, as we take pride and pleasure in the simple smile of a child. From entertaining, to strictly applying discipline, we would like to walk with you through this journey, in hopes of offering some ideas, tips, hope... and maybe even a giggle or two.

I know this craft is a little late for Easter, but it can easily be adapted for other holidays/seasons.
All you need is:
-paper cup
-straw
-images
-tape
It's pretty self explanatory: just color your images, cut them out, tape one to the outside and the other to a straw, poke a hole in your cup, and then stick your straw in the hole. :)
I did these with my primary class for Easter, but I'm also going to do them with our joy school. We are going to talk about butterflies and put cocoons on the outside with a butterfly that pops out.
You could also do them for groundhogs day, an egg with a bird/snake/alligator (anything that hatches) that pops out, a big seed with a flower, a tadpole with a frog, etc.
