Lion & Lamb of Springtime!

March 2013: We made mobiles to illustrate the phrase, "In like a lion, out like a lamb" that is so often used to describe the season of Spring. For some reason I only have a pic of the lamb which we made using cotton balls but the opposite side had a lion's face that we made using yellow yarn. The materials we used were also useful in a discussion about textures. The girls were very happy with these and liked to see them hanging in the window. We also used them as part of our weather each morning--deciding if the day's weather was like a lion (wintry) or like a lamb (mild and Spring-like).
