I hope you have been able to enjoy some of this beautiful weather and also have gotten to see some of the beautiful cherry blossoms.  I encourage you and your children to stop and take a closer look, try to see something you never saw before when looking at the cherry blossom tree.  What do you notice?

A fun art activity you can do at home is tracing your child’s hand on construction paper, then let them or you (depending on their age) cut it out and this will be the tree and branches of the cherry blossom tree.  Now let them make the cherry blossoms using a Q-tip and a variety of pink paint.
