Spring Crafts & Spring Activities: Fun With Pussy Willows!

Here's another "From my Heart to your Hands" FREEBIE.

Spring is such a fun time to be outside, breathing in the beauty of nature, as things start to bud, bloom and grow.

Pussy willows are one of the first signs of spring here in Michigan, so I like to gather a bunch and bring them into the classroom for my kiddos to touch.

They exclaim at the softness of the little puffs, and can certainly understand how these lovely branches got their name.

With that in mind, I designed this "Fun With Pussy Willows" packet. I hope you enjoy the activities, as much as I did creating them.

The packet includes:

• 2 real photographs of pussy willows, in case they don’t grow near you.

• A pussy willow craft using a cotton ball, or paint, to make fingerprint pussy willows, sure to become a keepsake.

• Letters that spell “Pussy Willows” to use as a caption for your spring bulletin board or hallway display.

• A pussy willow poem

• 2 legends about how the pussy willow got its name

• A Pussy Willow ACROSTIC poem activity

• 3 additional worksheets, which include a Venn diagram comparing pussy willows to kittens.

I’m Diane from Teach With Me, wishing you a fun-filled spring, touched by many soft & tender moments.
