SPRING PUSSY WILLOW CATKINS CRAFT

A fun Catkins Craft for kids!

There are so many wonderful and talented blogging mommies. Since we want Mommy Moment to be a blog that inspires and encourages moms I thought we should take the time to put the spotlight on one of these very special moms!

Valerie from Frugal Family Fun Blog is our first ever “Moment in the Spotlight” Mommy blogger!
If you are not familiar with her blog or her appearances on TV you are missing out! You just have to get on over there! She is the definition of AMAZING and INSPIRING!

Ok, ok, on to her post…

For a fun project, use Q-tips and twigs for a 3-D Spring craft — catkins (a.k.a. pussy willows) in a vase! These buds are one of the first signs of Spring.

Have your child mix black and white washable paint with a Q-tip to make grey.

Paint the tips of several Q-tips with the grey paint and allow to dry. Parents, cut the tips off, and discard the cardboard stick.

Kids can glue twigs to a piece of cardstock paper, or cardboard. Parents, cut paper in the shape of a vase for your child to add.

The kids can glue the “buds” to the twigs, allow to dry, and you are done!
