Handprint Tulips
• white paper
• green finger paint and red finger paint (or pink, white or yellow)
Dip the forarm (from elbow to wrist) in green finger paint. If you don't have a tray big enought to accomodate this, just paint the finger paint onto the forearm with a paintbrush. Press down the arm 3 or 4 times onto a sheet of white paper (construction paper works great!) to make the stems of the tulips. Now dip the hend (excluding thumb) into red finger paint and stamp on top of the stems (holding the thumb up) to make the tulip flowers. Keep the fingers close together. You can add fingerpaint green stems, thumbprint green greass, thumbprint caterpillars and thumprint butterflies.

Shake It Up

• scissors
• zip lock bags
• glitter
• confetti
• silver ribbon
• dried beans and/or rice
• red ribbon
• staples
•markers
Cut the center section out of one of the plates - discard center or save for another project. Fill ziplock bag with glitter, silver ribbons and confetti. Zip shut. Get the paper plate with the hole cut out and center the zip lock bag over the hole. Staple it to the plate, making sure to place staple tightly together (so the beans or rice will not be able to get through). Now place the beans and/or rice in the center of the other plate, place the plate with the see through window over top and staple closed (again, make sure to place staple close together so the beans and rice don't fall out).
