Every week, Child Care Resources will publish The Bored Jar blog, which will provide you with ideas of activities to do with the children in your care. We know that much of the correspondence we send has to do with rules and regulations, but The Bored Jar will only be filled with fun activities. Whenever you’re bored with your kids, try some of our Bored Jar ideas!

Blossom Tree Painting

Blossom trees are symbolic of Chinese New Year, celebrated in Japan, and are welcomed in spring in much of the world.

You will need:

• Pink paint
• Black pen
• White Paper

Instructions:
Mix the paint with an equal part of water. Paint your paper all over with water. Dot on the paint and watch the dots spread. When you are happy you have enough blossoms leave the picture to dry.
When the paint is dry use the black pen to draw on the branches of the tree.
