Rainy Days and Ducklings

After indoor soccer practice, and a good 1 1/2 mile walk with a toddler and a baby, I was ready for an afternoon inside. After all it is supposed to be raining outside. As much as I'd love to relax and get a few things done around the house, my littles are not so interested in doing that. In fact they get progressively more mischievous and antsy if I do try to get something done that doesn't directly involve them. So, I set that all aside to do a fun art project I've been wanting to try.

The inspiration for this one came from an Easter party we attended last week. The fabulous and considerate hostess bought baby ducklings for each of the attending children. One of my littles took quite a liking to her duckling. She named her Bunny. Well she named the duckling Easter Bunny, but the hostess had a one name rule for the cute little ducklings. So Bunny it was!

To help remind my daughter of her experience, and to extend her understanding of these adorable little creatures, we made our own little ducklings. I found this cute handprint duckling through Pinterest. My little loves the result!
