Spring Break has finally arrived for a majority of the communities around here! Which can be a bittersweet feeling for the parents with little ones! Its always wonderful being able to spend time with your kids, but when its raining outside and you are left to entertain them what do you do!

Well here are some fun springtime inspired arts and crafts that you and the kids will both enjoy!

 then glue a tennis ball to the feet.
-Next, glue 2 googly eyes and 2 duck bill shapes cut from
more orange craft foam to a 2-inch yellow pom-pom,
