I just recently found out that my five year old daughter loves mud. She could spend hours making mud pies, mud huts for fairies, or any other mud sculpture you can think of. This Mud Monster would be perfect to gently guide her on the creative artistic side of mud. Head on over to Crafts n Coffee for the tutorial.

Learning about Rabbits
Easter and spring are fine times to learn about rabbits, but of course you can do a rabbit unit study any time of year. Here are some resources to help your kiddos learn about rabbits.

Homeschool Preschool has a nice set of rabbit learning activities, which includes life cycle, parts of a rabbit, practicing writing the letter r, a number maze, puzzle and more. These are free when you sign up for their newsletter.
If you want to buy some resources for learning about rabbits, the set from A Dab of Glue Will Do is a great one. It includes life cycle printables, information about the difference between a rabbit and a hare, posters and a PowerPoint presentation, activities related to herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and more. You can buy this set at Teachers Pay Teachers.
