Okay, the truth is, I went to Shipshewana yesterday. Walked all day 
and had a great time. I brought home fresh produce to take care of 
today and forgot that it is Wednesday.

Here are a few ideas to entertain the kids when you forgot to plan.

Butterflies

materials

plastic clamp clothes pin

pipe cleaner
tissue paper

Dirrections

Place of colored tissue paper in the clamp of the clothes pin. Use 
the pipe cleaner to make the antena.

If you have a butterfly net help the kids catch their 
butterflies.  They look beautiful hanging in the window and will 
flutter when and if we get a breeze.

We are hoping for rain around here.  Do you have a rain gage in your yard?

You can make one by taping a ruler to the outside of a clear plastic 
jar.  Have children record the rain fall for a while.  No rain YOu 
say?  Well, measure the water from your sprinkler.

Here is a cute idea for a hat for little girls to make during dress up.

Materials

crepe paper streamers
cupcake papers

tape or glue

Simply glue the flowers, cupcake papers, to the streamers and tie 
uner the chin.

I always kept pipe cleaners in my purse for those long waiting room times.

We could make designs, animals, flowers or letters and numbers.  How 
about making a pair of glasses using pipe cleaners?
