Popcorn Popping on The Apricot Tree
On a sheet of paper draw a tree.
Glue popped corn on the branches of the tree to look like blossoms.
Try not to get glue on your finger tips. This can be messy.
If you do not have popcorn use paint or even bits of Kleenex tissue for the blossoms.

Kindergarten Art
Boing-Boing Bug
A cross-folded spring serves as the bug's body.
Two cross folded papers are glued together to form a letter L shape.
My papers were 2" x 18" long.
Fold the bottom strip over the top strip, fold the bottom strip over the top
strip, keep alternating the strips, one on top of the other, until the strips
end, forming a spring shape, this is the bug's body.
Glue the top ends together.
The bug's body can now be decorated with a head, eyes, proboscis,
antenna, wings, lots of legs, and a stinger.
Add spots and stripes as needed.
