Empowering Imperfect Mommas
Spring is here and it is time for some fresh home décor and furniture! Since most of us are limiting our time in stores, I thought it would be great to share some easy DIY projects that can be done with materials you may already have laying around!

Beautiful spring weather has come to Ohio. To celebrate, today we want to share an easy little chick craft that is perfect for little ones who are just learning to use scissors!

Materials Used
I started by cutting out a big circle from the yellow paper, a triangle from the orange paper, and feet like shapes from the black paper. If you are doing this craft with an older child who already has good scissor skills, let them do the cutting!
Next, I gave my toddler the scissors so that she could make snips around the circle. Making snips is a great way to introduce little ones to scissor use!
I took the circle and folded the edges that had just been cut upwards. After that was done, I helped my toddler glue the parts of the chick onto the white paper. I always offer as little guidance as possible when we do crafts like this so that she can make her own creations.
To finish up, I gave my toddler googly eyes to glue on her chick.
Book Suggestions
Little learners often enjoy pairing a book with a craft project. If you want the book before Easter, make sure to double check the shipping date.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day! Many of you will be celebrating the day with your kids at home since most schools in the United States and beyond are closed right now. Tonight, I want to share a simple but fun craft that will keep your kids busy for a little bit tomorrow!
Materials Used
To get ready for this activity, I cut out a hat from the green paper, an oval from the brown paper, a small rectangle from the black paper, and a slightly bigger rectangle from the yellow paper. Next, I traced my daughter’s hand onto orange paper folded into fours. I used two pieces of paper so that I’d have eight hand prints total. If your children can use scissors, you can just draw the shapes that need cut and let them do the cutting!
After all the cutting was done, I gave my daughter the oval and had her draw a face.
After the face was drawn, I helped my daughter glue on the hat. We used the yellow and black paper to make a buckle.
Finally, I flipped over our little leprechaun and I helped my daughter glue the hand prints on to the bottom of the oval. This is his beard.
This is our finished leprechaun!
Book Suggestions
Crafts and learning activities are even more fun when paired with a book! Since St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, I picked books that are available on Kindle!
