• Predrawn stencils of flowers, butterflies, birds, worms, eggs to be printed (if you have a printer) and cut out
• Scissors

• Hanger or dowel
• Hole puncher - optional
• Any materials lying around your home like, old buttons, bottle caps, yarn, cotton balls pipe cleaners, uncooked pasta: like elbows, bow ties, spaghetti; tin foil, straws and toothpicks are always neat items to add to any project (use your imagination)

Steps to follow:

1. Cut the string into different lengths and tie to the hanger or dowel.
2. Using construction paper, draw a picture of your favorite type of flower, butterfly, bird, worm, egg. If you prefer, we have provided some of our favorite animals for you to print and use if you have a printer. You can also put a piece of paper up to the computer and trace the outline of the objects.
   1. Animal Template
   2. Spring Template
3. Color the objects from step 2 and cut them out.
4. Gather a bunch of materials from around your home to decorate your pictures.
5. When you have finished decorating, cut out your picture and glue it to the string. If you'd like to use a hole punch, just punch a hole somewhere on the object, lace the string through the hole and make a knot.
6. Tie the other end of your string to the hanger or dowel and hang it up.
