Make Inchworms
Cut a cardboard egg carton in half lengthwise.
Give one half to each child. Paint the egg carton with green tempera
paint and allow to dry. Cut the sections apart and punch a small
hole in the top of the each section; Thread a length of string, yarn or
ribbon thru each egg section, knotting before adding the next one.
Leave a couple of inches of string between each section before knotting.
Add pipe cleaner antennae and googly eyes to the front section. Other
decorations may be added using stickers, buttons, felt or tissue or construction
paper.

Appoint a child to be the sun. When she touches an "icicle" the child
pretends to "melt" and fall to the floor. Take turns so that all
the children have a turn at being the sun.
