The Mom I Want to Be

 

The first week in August is National Clown Week!

This wonderful learning activity:  Fun with Clowns at Chateau Meddybemps addresses emotions/feelings, anticipation, counting and matching.

 

Clown Ruffle Collar

Need: coffee filters and food coloring

 

Have children color the coffee filters by dipping them into colored water. Lay flat to dry.  When dry fold the coffee filters in half and tape them together in a line. Wonderful clown collar for a child to wear.
