fingerprint fireflies

A colleague down the hall made the cutest fireflies with her kids.

We just had to make them.  (Actually, I think there are fireflies in a lot of the classrooms in the school!)

And they added some  Lonely Fireflies to our Grouchy Ladybugs and Hungry Caterpillars.

Luckily I had some sparkly pipecleaners left over from lovebug antennae.

I had gold and silver paint, and found some copper paint in a storage closet.

I post pictures like this, so that everyone knows
that I have a regular, chaotic, messy, not picture perfect classroom.

Four thumbprints, two on each side, make a firefly.

They have made good friends with the ladybugs, and the caterpillars.  The rumour is that some beautiful butterflies might show up soon.
