I had a fun little excursion to The Dollar Tree this week. They just have the most random, cute and CHEAP things. A lot of their merchandise is FLOWERS right now. So I bought some of everything knowing I could morph it into singing times. Here's idea one! April is a very bizarre month for me with General Conference and Stake Conference looming. I therefore only have Sundays this month with the kiddos. UGH. Anyway, I thought I'd do a review of the first 3 songs we have learned for part of one of those Sundays. These flowers came from the Dollar Tree. I just glued the base to a poster. We will sing and if they sing well, the flower will grow. We will see if we can make our primary-garden bloom. I did something similar in January with melting the snowman and I was astounded how much the juniors got into this...singing their hearts out to make Frosty melt. I have hopes they will do the same to make the flowers grow. I have just taped the songs on the center of the flower so I can interchange them and use this again if I so chose. Behind the flower is taped as well but there is a plastic loop on the top. So I will hold the poster and dislodge the bloom and hold it by the loop as the kids sing and just pull it up if they do well or leave it where it is if they don't. Once the song is done, I will stick to whatever height they got it to. Hopefully it will be to the top!
I love this idea!
