Felt Flower Napkin Rings

This week we enjoyed the Metropolitan Museum of Art's lovely book "Vincent's Colors". The kids loved this book, shouting out the colors as they heard them! Vincent van Gogh is always a hit with kids, whether experiencing his words and paintings in a book or painting sunflowers themselves.

After practicing English with songs and reading, we gathered at the creative table to make felt flower napkin rings (... or hair ornaments, or rings, or pacifiers). Cutting felt is an interesting task for little fingers, and creating such colorful objects with just a few snips is just plain fun.
