With it being Spring we decided to combine learning the letter D with Daffodils<\/p>\n

\"letterd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First simply cut out a letter D and colour it orange<\/p>\n

\"yellowpaper\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I never had any yellow paper so we painted a white sheet – I also think this adds to the fun, gives it more texture, and obviously the added skill that painting brings – you can use yellow paper if you would like though.<\/p>\n

\"petals\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we just cut random “petal” shapes out<\/p>\n

\"daffodild\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And stuck them with tape to our D.<\/p>\n

\"TRHdaffodils\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We just cut some toilet roll holders up and drew some “petals” around them with white paper.<\/p>\n

\"painttrh\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We painted the toilet roll holders orange.<\/p>\n

\"paintflower\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the petals yellow.<\/p>\n

\"daffodiltrh\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again we just stuck the two together<\/p>\n

\"daffodils\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To make our Bonnets we first made a papier-mache bowl by sticking newspaper with a mix of glue and water to a balloon.<\/p>\n

\"bonnetbase\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We hung them out to dry on the washing line.<\/p>\n

\"platesaspetals\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We then cut paper plates in half.<\/p>\n

\"paintbonnet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We painted the bowls orange.<\/p>\n

\"paintingplate\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the half\u00a0plates yellow.<\/p>\n

\"paintingdrying\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We filled empty jam jars with water to weigh down the newspaper to stop it blowing away whilst the paint dried.<\/p>\n

\"daffodilbonnet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We taped the plates to the bowl.<\/p>\n

\"easterbits\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using a kit we made chicks with pipe cleaners, googly eyes and pompoms.<\/p>\n

\"makeachick\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We glued the chicks to the top of the bowl.<\/p>\n

\"chickdaffodilbonnet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then we just stuck Easter Pictures around the outside.<\/p>\n
