kids bop their balloon in the air to music. When the music stops they must grab the
balloons and freeze.

Peanut Butter Dough Creations:
Make your creations and eat them!
1 cup peanut butter ~1 cup honey ~2 cups powdered milk (use just the powder) Mix all
the ingredients in a bowl. If needed, add more powdered milk to make the dough
workable. (NOTE: children under 1 and maybe 2 should not have honey, try
using brown sugar and liquid milk to make it workable. Also, make sure
none of the children have PB allergies).
Spiral Kites:
Need paper plates, markers or crayons, yarn or string
Have the children decorate the plate with colors. Next, have an adult cut out a
spiral shape from the plate, leaving a 1 1/2" center circle. Tie the
string onto the center. Let the kids "fly" their kites.
