Paper Fortune Tellers

As I looked around on the internet for some easy paper crafts, I came across paper fortune tellers.  Pictured above is the finished product.  I remember doing these as a child and had forgotten all about them.  A fun and easy craft to do with your child.  You may even be able to use this project to help with sight words.  Check out this website to make your own paper fortune teller.

low carb egg muffins

So this is the easiest low carb recipe ever!  This is what I used:

5 or 6 eggs
prosciutto cubes
diced onions
salt
pepper
milk
muffin pan (I used a mini muffin pan)

1.  put a few prosciutto cubes along with a pinch of onions in the mini muffin pan.
2.  preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3.  whisk the eggs with milk and pour a little bit into each muffin.  Do not fill to the top, just a little below to the rim.
4.  Cook for 5-10 minutes in the oven.  I don't have an exact time, because I wasn't paying attention.  I just kept a watch on the oven while I cleaned the kitchen/unloaded the dishwasher.
5.  Use a spoon to take the eggs out and then sprinkle with some salt and pepper.

You don't have to use the prosciutto or onions like I did with my recipe.  Try diced tomatoes or bell peppers.  This is such a quick and easy recipe.  This is what we had a long with toast for our Easter morning breakfast.

cotton ball sheep

My daughter wanted to do an art project with cotton balls the other day so we made this cute little sheep.

Materials needed:
cotton balls
bowl of glue (to dip cotton balls in)
paper/construction paper
scissors

1.  cut out the body, legs, tail, head, and eye.
2.  glue the body parts to the body.
3.  glue the cotton balls to the body.

If you have a little googly eye you can use that for the eye instead.  This is really cute.  

watermelon

A fun springtime/summertime activity.  Use cookie cutters to cut out watermelon and other fruits.

lines

This is a fun activity to teach students about different lines.  Have them color a piece of paper using the colors of the rainbow (or paint or use markers) and then have them cut the paper using wavy lines, straight lines, zig zag lines, etc.
