Growing Flowers
Have your children make large flowers. Put the child's picture inside
their flower. Then make rain drops with different things that children
need to grow written on them (ie love, food, support, etc.) Title the
Board something like "We are Growing Big," "Rain Makes
the Flowers Grow," "We Need Rain To Grow," etc.Blooming Flowers
Make three-dimensional flowers. In the center of the flowers put a picture
of each of your children. Put a caption such as "Watch as Bloom,"
"Friendships are Blooming," "We've blossomed and grown,"
etc.Carrot Garden
Cut out one carrot shape for each child (make the carrot out of orange
and the top out of green). Put a picture of each child at the top of the
carrot but below the green top. Make your background half brown and half
blue or green. Put the carrot tops coming out of the brown grown. Use
a caption like "Growing Up Happy," "Growing in God's Love,"
"Growing Up Fast," etc.April Showers Bring May Flowers
Put your children in small groups (3-5) have them make a flower by using
their hand prints around a center core. Then give each child a few raindrop
shaped pieces of paper and let them color their raindrop. Finally, give
each group a cloud and let them design it together. Put it all together
on the board (flowers on bottom, Clouds on top, with rain coming from
clouds) with the title "April Showers Bring May Flowers"Friendly Scarecrow
On your board create a large scarecrow (with hay or grass sticking out).
Then give each of your children a precut bird shape. Let them decorate
their bird however they want. Then put all of their crows around the scarecrow.
