Wings
Items needed

Pin a corner of the scarf or fabric to the back neck and to each cuff of your child’s’ long sleeve shirt and let them dance and fly throughout the room. Play classical music and move to the music with the new wings.

Items needed
* large rectangle piece of paper (or two 8.5×11 sheets taped together lengthwise to make one long sheet)

Have your child decorate the paper and then roll into big tube and tape or staple together. Tape or staple long streamers or tissue paper streamers to the bottom of the tube.
