Hurray !! Spring Break !!!!!! Planned our trips ....... Got few books to have a wonderful time reading and crafting . We read this wonderful book , The New House . The story is about a family moving to their new house . It tells about how they shifted things and arranged their new house . My daughter really enjoyed reading this book and related her experience when we shifted to our new flat . How nice to see her relating the story to her knowledge !!! .

Then , we got into action for our new house collage .

STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED :

1) My lil one drew shapes to make a house and cut them off from the old magazine.

2) Glue it to a chart/paper.

3) Cut grass pictures/leaf pictures to make tree and lawn.
