Easter Collage Bookmarks

Hi there! Happy Easter! For the past month I've been supplying in a grade 5 and we haven't been crafting too much... More like lots of Math and French! However, with Easter being this weekend, I decided we were in need of a fun crafty afternoon before the long weekend! So I found a bunch of vintage easter images on the web and photocopied them onto colored paper. I brought in some fun patterned paper and we made bookmarks on little strips of bristol board! We even sealed the collage with plain old packing tape! Success!

Materials
  ✄ bristol board 2" x 8" strips
  ✄ Easter images (see below)
  ✄ colored paper
  ✄ patterned paper
  ✄ scissors
  ✄ glue
  ✄ hole punch

Toilet paper roll penguin

Hi there! Woah have I ever been busy in this latest class of TWENTY THREE 4 & 5 year old kindergarteners! They sure have lots of energy. Last week, we made these adorable (and easy!) little penguins. I think it was the only time they were all absolutely quiet... they LOVED it!

Here's what you'll need:
❄ toilet paper rolls
❄ black & orange construction paper
❄ white tissue paper
❄ eyes
❄ scissors
❄ glue

Instructions:
 Wrap the toilet paper roll in black construction paper and glue in place. Use the leftover black paper to make two wings (long triangles) and glue on each side of the roll. Cut out a white belly and glue it down. With the orange paper, cut a triangle beak and two feet. Glue two eyes and voilà!
They are all so different and adorable!
Even a hat and a scarf! GAH!
Not gonna lie, this was my fav.
So fancy and the little girl worked on it for 45 minutes.
