Happy Groundhog's Day! Whether the ground sees his shadow or not, I think spring has arrived in South Carolina. The temperatures have been in the 50's or 60's all week.
I thought it would be fun to celebrate Groundhog's Day with JDaniel anyway. I made a leaping groundhogs game due to the fact that it is a leap year too and searched Pinterest for Groundhog's Day crafts and snacks.
The leaping groundhogs game is the only thing I really made myself. You will find links to the others ideas I found under each picture.
Leaping Groundhogs Game
Supplies:
Sections of a white milk jug
Brown felt
Green felt
Wiggly eyes
Black construction paper
A margarine tub
Directions:
1. Cut three inch long sections out of a white plastic milk jug for as many groundhogs as you will need
2. Fold each strips into thirds.
3. Cut out a groundhog shaped head out of brown felt
4. Glue the head onto the front third of the strip with his nose facing away for the bend.
5. Cut a black circle out of construction paper.
6. Glue two wiggly eyes and a black nose onto the groundhog head.
7. Cut a green rectangular piece of felt that will fit around your margarine tub and is a little taller than the tub.
8. Snip off some of the green felt that reaches above the tub to make it look like grass.
How to play:
1.Bend the groundhog into thirds.
2. Place your thumb on the groundhog's nose.
3. Watch him fly into the margarine tub or back into his hole.
