(you know the old red and green one with the screws). She attached 8 satin ribbons about 2" in width to the top using very wide duct tape. The streamers were the length of the pole. We took it out to the front yard and 8 children at a time skipped and danced around. We played "Vivaldi's Four Seasons" (Spring) for the dance. All of us had a ball. Always wanted to do this but could never rig up the pole.

Age 3+ Age 3+ In 1902 Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt went on a hunting trip. At the end of the day, he hadn't had much success, so a captured black bear cub (a baby bear) was brought for him to shoot. The president said no way and the story touched the nation. Soon a small toy bear was created that became popular around the world for generations to come the "Teddy Bear".

Read on and find out what would happen on May Day. When the sun rose, the May day fun continued. Villagers met in the woods to choose the tree that would become the Maypole.

Extractions: but it takes someone special to be a DAD I love Father's Day. It's so much fun seeing Daddy and the girls interacting on this special day. The girls are always on their best behavior and Darren is so in tune with the family (no work brought home, no grass to mow...) As always, we use crafts as gifts from the girls. It seems more special than a wallet somehow (although I must admit, we often buy something to accompany the crafted gifts).

Extractions: Give each child a 9" paper plate. Cut out two small triangeles from paper plate to make the tail section. See illustration. Reproduce the fish pattern . (Pattern will open up into a new window.) Cut out, trace onto oaktag, and cut out again. (Use this as your main pattern) Have each child trace the oaktag pattern onto white construction paper and cut out. Then glue the fish onto the paper plate, as shown. Then glue seashell for the eye. On the card, write, "To Dad (or Grandpa, etc.), You're a great catch!" Apply glue all around edges of fish and onto tail. Sprinkle sand on the glue while still wet. Shake off excess sand. Have each child tie a piece of yarn about 14" long (fishing line) to a stick (1' long- fishing pole) and attach a paper clip to the other end of the yarn. With a hole puncher, children will make a hole where indicated on the fish and hook the paper clip through it. In a large mixing bowl, mix together plaster of Paris and water (two parts plaster to one part water). Stir until the mixture is smooth. Give the students a handful of plaster and let them mold the plaster into a mound, about 3" in diameter. Decorate by pressing with a variety of nuts, bolts, nails, and screws into the surfaces. Set the paperweights on old newspapers to dry for two or three days. Spray paint them silver after they dry. Trace paperweight onto a piece of felt and cut out. Trim edges and glue to bottom of paperweight for protective covering for bottom.
