| My kids and I LOVE to pick strawberries. We usually do it every year, but this year we missed them because of our holidays. I was so excited to hear from a friend that there are local farms that still have strawberries to pick and will continue right thru to the fall. So we did some research and headed out on the weekend to pick some strawberries, in August. I think my youngest should have been weighed before and after he went in LOL.So after picking way too many berries we came home and made some freezer jam and ate lots of fresh local grown berries. YUM!With all the talk of strawberries in our house lately I thought how perfect it was when I came upon this really cool craft called “Strawberry Necklace” from a great site called Activity VillageEnjoy!

 Strawberry Necklace CraftOur Strawberry Necklace is an original summer craft for kids to make – with the added benefit that they can wear it proudly! You will need: A peach or nectarine stone, washed and with any bits of fruit removed Instructions: Paint the stone with red paint and leave to dry. Cut a length of cord long enough to go around your neck. Glue to the stone. Cut a stem and leaf shape from the craft foam and glue this to the top of the strawberry. |

Our daycare provider, Julia, sends Lucy home with the neatest crafts each week.
This guy was just three balls of dirt-filled panyhose until a few days ago when it started to sprout!
And now we have a very hairy caterpillar in our kitchen. My husband is determined to plant it in the backyard.
What a cool idea to teach kids about nature and growth, while having fun, too!
