My daughter created this beautiful bouquet all by herself. She used pipe cleaners, construction paper and a toilet paper tube to create these flowers that she gave to her baby sister. When I asked how she did it, she replied, “It was easy peasy mom!” I think this could also be a perfect Mother’s Day gift to give to grandma or an aunt.

This morning we made these cute chicks out of toilet paper tubes. Even my 2-year-old was able to create one with some help. (His is the one on the far right, pretty cute, huh?) Your kids can be super creative while making these spring chicks, mine decided that not all chicks are yellow, some even have polka-dots!
