Welcome!
Here it is, the middle of March, and the weather still can’t make up its mind.
Shall we come roaring in like a lion? Blast them with gales of wind and flurries of snow?
Or shall we bring sunshine, gentle breezes and soft rains? Happy and sweet, like a baby lamb?
March is known as a month of contradictions. Today our high is 35’, Fahrenheit. A light snow has dusted everything white, like a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tomorrow? High of 76’!
The old saying ‘March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb’ is generally true. I love the symbolism of those two! Let’s play a little today with lions and lambs.

Next I have a couple fun paper dolls to print and cut out and play with. Why not print them out onto magnetic sheets? You can find these printer friendly sheets at hobby/craft stores and some printing shops. This can be fun for kids in the car, or for refrigerator door entertainment.
Let’s learn how to draw lions and lambs.

Are you ready for Spring? I know I am!
Looking at crafts to share, I found some really cute finger puppets on Pinterest. I had forgotten how easy it is to make these, and how fun to play with them! Here are some ideas, and a pattern you can easily adapt to your needs:
Definitely check out etsy for some great patterns to purchase.
Next I have a few more puzzles and coloring pages for you:
Oops! Sorry the lamb is sideways!
Let’s play with our food:
Simply arrange cupcakes for a cute lion’s head treat. You can use a larger pan for the cake in the middle. String licorice makes great Lion whiskers.
Now for some sweet lambs:
Just snip larger marshmallows with scissors for the ears, and add M&Ms and a skittle for eyes and nose.
I have included a simple lamb graphic for you to print out for the toothpick pokes in the cupcakes. You can also use sucker (lollipop) sticks.
Still got the March Munchies? Here you go:
I’m feeling a little crafty now:
These crafts are fairly simple and don’t really need instructions. If you have questions, just leave me a comment and I will get back to you.
I found a pattern you could use for the any of the lamb crafts:
I just have to share this cute lamb pattern for sale on Etsy. You will find many different variations of patterns there.
I don’t know about you, but I am ready for the Lion to go roar somewhere else, and let the Lamb come stay awhile.
‘Til next time,
