I have updated this post to reflect the changes that have happened since I last wrote it. My daughters have grown older and are now reading chapter books, as well as exploring new music. However, I still cherish the memories of visiting the library with them and the excitement they would show when we checked out new books. Even though their interests have changed, they still get excited about reading new books.   I have compiled a list of the Spring-themed books we borrowed, along with a brief description of each book.

Snakes In The Desert I may have been missing Arizona and the desert life when I came up with this craft for my daughter. She seemed to enjoy it and it was a quick craft to do together. Materials needed: TP roll Paper plate Paint/paint brushes Scissors A few rocks Craft eyes Glue I started off by cutting the TP roll. Then using my scissors I wrapped and pulled the TP roll.  This causes it to create a spiral shape and curl. This is what you want to do to create the snake's body.  Next, paint each one and allow it to dry. Once it is dry, glue on your craft eyes.  I took a paper plate and cut out the center and we used brown paint to paint it. After allowing that to dry, we then glued on our snakes.  I used some leftover TP rolls and made a cactus for our desert.   Grab a few rocks from outside and set it up so that it looks as though your snakes are in the desert. You're all done! I hope you enjoyed this craft....
