Classic New England. Lull your residents into submission with a few days of spring weather, then hit them with another dose of winter.

If you’re in need of a fun indoor activity this slushy weekend, check out this week’s On The Farm feature from Kids Craft Weekly. Laurel – who loves singing Mary Had a Little Lamb and Baa Baa Black Sheep – went crazy over the Wild and Woolly Sheep project (shown, from KCW). This project is ultra low maintenance, easy to knock together with little other than basic bathroom supplies. And as if in homage to her urban exposure to animals, Laurel pointed out that we ought to make a fire hydrant to go with the sheep, which we executed by taping construction paper to a toilet paper roll, then rolling and taping a paper cone for the top.

If you’re looking for something to do during today's snow day, easy kid’s craft activities are possible with minimal or recycled materials. Paper plate crafts or sock puppets are good options; the latter can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. We’ve found that two features (e.g., eyes and ears, or eyes and a tongue as with our fleece snake family) are enough to render an animal likeness that kids love.

Move over Martha. What’s cuter than these do-it-yourself animal card kits from Paper Source? Fun to use as invites or greeting cards, you can choose from chick, goldfish (shown), cow, and frog designs.

Kits come in sets of 10 for $14.50 and include instructions, cards, envelopes, and adornments (seals and stickers). You will need a circle punch, 1/8-inch hole punch and glue stick (available at Paper Source or craft stores such as Michael’s). Designed to be made by adults or by adults with “help” from kids.

Paper Source has four locations in the Boston area (Cambridge, Boston, Brookline, Wellesley) as well as national locations and web-order shopping.
