    Going to try this with a variation - using diluted white craft glue on the yarn like you would use to make the string on a balloon - ie dries hard when done. Then just let them dangle the piece of yarn onto a piece of wax paper or plastic plate in a pile to make the flower. Add a pompom for the centre of the flower and pipecleaner stems. Each flower will be unique - then stand them all in a covered and decorated can.

    Made the flowers this morning and used the diluted white glue instead and it worked really well. I tried using cookie cutters and found that it was easier to just let the kids drop the yarn on the wax paper, just liked you described. They turned into really pretty flower shapes, kind of like roses. Then I let them put glitter on top. They are half dry right now, and they look really cute. Once they are totally dry we are going to add the pipe cleaner stems.

    My only possible problem is that I think I may have had the kids squeeze off a bit too much of the glue when we took it out of the diluted glue. I don't think they are going to be quite as stiff as I was planning. But if anything, we will glue them onto paper and turn them into cards.

    Messy but fun!

    I just googled a homemade bath salts recipe - it believe it had almond oil, lavender extract, epsom salts and a few drops of food colouring to tint it (I wrote the ingredients on the label encase anyone had a sensitivity to anything). It was a bit expensive buying the supplies, but a little goes a long way and I kept the leftovers to use myself! :-)

    The kids each helped measure out the ingredients and them mixed it themselves, and done! Super easy and looked really nice in the glass jars.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
