we lucked out with a windy but nice day today for Root Children! Thanks to everyone for coming today and celebrating both the 40th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and the 6th birthday of our friend Kai! We all enjoyed making some clothespin caterpillars and eating one of The Very Hungry Caterpillars favorite foods- strawberries!
As mentioned a bit earlier in March- The Very Hungry Caterpillar is the inspiration for both the Root Children and the Once Upon a Table Story Project. The project this month is pretty fiber arts centered. The Spring Cocoon is a fun project to do with your kiddos. Jasper loves the knitting tower and both boys enjoy wet felting. This project includes a caterpillar and butterfly that snuggly fit inside a nice cocoon! I have had alot of fun developing this pattern over the past few weeks in stages. Needless to say there has been bits and pieces of wool left around and about the house! But this is all done in time for the switch to spring on our Story Table.
I hope you enjoy it and I was having fun with some new stamps I got a few months ago that I have been waiting to use, this is a wee little giveaway for you. This is a little wooden card set of the transformation of the butterfly cycle. Wood stamped with the same fantastic ink I have been using for for a long time specially made for wood and fabric and all non-toxic and kid safe. It is simple little set to go with your story cocoon! Just leave me a comment and let me know how you like the new Once Upon A Table pattern and you will be entered into the drawing. Break out the wool and have fun!
Entries until midnight April 4, boys will do the honors of drawing a name- winner will be announced April 6- good luck!
