Rockstar Birthday Board

As you will soon learn, I am totally obsessed with zebra print and anything "rockstar style". I'm really surprised it took me this long to think of a reason to make part of our class zebra print. I found the idea off of Pinterest, which led me to this blog .

As I mentioned before due to not being able to order supplies I had to improvise. I stapled white butcher paper to the wall and started painting the zebra stripes all over. The kids got to pick between pink or green "rockstar" sunglasses that we had left over from Graduation last year (children's faces are blacked out for obvious privacy reasons), and glued onto star cutouts. Each month has a different color star and their birthdays are written on the side of the star. Obviously, they weren't glammed out enough so we painted them with colorations washable glitter paint (ordered through DSS)

The kids LOVE our birthday board, and it actually hangs above their art files so they are always looking at and commenting on their Rockstar pictures :)

P.S. My Birthday is JUNE 12, just so nobody forgets ;p

Handprint Books

I'm always doing tons of hand print projects with the munchkins for the holidays, but unless I safely store them in their already filled 'all about me' books, they probably all tend to get lost at home with the rest of the artwork. I found this idea for a Handprint Art Book through Pinterest, and I knew I just had to make these for my munchkins!

We have a lot of supplies already, but are currently on an ordering hiatus due to unforeseen expenses on fixing the air in the school. I just used a sheet of card stock for each child and cut it in half for the front and back of the book. Then I used 5 large sheets of white construction paper, cut into 4 (making 20 pages inside each book), hole punched the sides and tied it with ribbon, just in case I need to add more pages later. I had the kids write their first names at the top of the book (traced it with highlighted letters if they aren't able yet) and that's it! Easy as ever and great to have ready so I can just place the handprints in the books when they are ready!
