Welcome back to Craft Corner! This is something let’s go mommy featured in the past and I’m hoping to bring it back. I hope to start sharing easy craft ideas that you can do with your kids at home more regularly. To do so, I’ve recruited the help of one of my favorite crafty ladies, Ms. Cheri Vanden Heuvel. 🙂 A few years ago Cheri did the cutest craft projects with my girls at Kids Korner at the YMCA. Now she is one of the teachers of Learning Tree Adventures and Oodles of Art, a weekly preschool art class through the De Pere Parks & Recreation Department, and she is going to share some of her projects with us! (If you’re interested in either of these preschool classes next fall for your 3-5 year old, you can find out more by calling the De Pere Parks & Rec department at 920-339-4097 or visit www.de-pere.org.)

This month’s craft project is for St Patrick’s Day.
