Pinterest- Leaping into Groundhog’s Day

By

Happy Groundhog’s Day! Whether the ground sees his shadow or not, I think spring has arrived in South Carolina. The temperatures have been in the 50’s or 60’s all week.
 I thought it would be fun to celebrate Groundhog’s Day with JDaniel anyway. I made a leaping groundhogs game due to the fact that it is a leap year too and searched Pinterest for Groundhog’s Day crafts and snacks.
 The leaping groundhogs game is the only thing I really made myself. You will find links to the other ideas I found under each picture.

Leaping Groundhog Activity

Leaping Groundhogs Game
Supplies:
 Sections of a white milk jug
Brown felt
Green felt 
Wiggly eyes
Black construction paper
Margarine tub
Directions:
1. Cut three-inch-long sections out of a white plastic milk jug for as many groundhogs as you will need
2. Fold each strip into thirds.
3. Cut out a groundhog-shaped head out of brown felt
4. Glue the head onto the front third of the strip with his nose facing away for the bend.

5. Cut a black circle out of construction paper.
6. Glue two wiggly eyes and a black nose onto the groundhog head.
7. Cut a green rectangular piece of felt that will fit around your margarine tub and is a little taller than the tub.
8. Snip off some of the green felt that reaches above the tub to make it look like grass.
How to play:
1. Bend the groundhog into thirds. 
2. Place your thumb on the groundhog’s nose.
3. Watch him fly into the margarine tub or back into his hole.
Here are some wonderful ideas I found on Pinterest:
