Arts & Crafts
Lavender Buds:
On a dry day cut an odd number of long stems of lavender. Arrange them in a cone shape.
Bind together with cotton thread-wrapping around the flower heads finishing below the flower heads. Knot. Bend the stems upwards over the flowers.
Tie one end of a long length of cotton tightly around the stems.
Weave the cotton in and out of the stems, pulling tight as you go. When you reach the end, tie a knot in the cotton and tuck out of sight. tuck these in your drawers or under your pillow.
Lavender Bags:
two 2 inch pieces of material
pinking shears
pins
needle and thread/sewing machine

Pick a bunch of lavender and hang to dry, upside-down in a cool, dry place until absolutely dry. Break off the brittle flowers to use for making the bags or potpourri.
Cut two pieces of material 6 inches square with pinking shears. Pin together with right sides together and sew along three sides. Clip the two bottom corners.
Turn bag right side out and fill with lavender.
leaving a long end of thread, sew running stitches around the bag from the top. pull the two ends of thread tight to close the bag and tie a knot.
Tie some colored ribbons around the bag to decorate.

Lavender's Blue (nursery rhyme)
Lavender's blue, diddle, diddle.
Lavender's green.
When I am king, diddle, diddle,
You shall be queen.
Who told you so, didle, diddle?
Who told you so?
Twas mine own heart, diddle, didle
That told me so.
roses are red, diddle, diddle
Violets are blue.
Because you love me, diddle, diddle,
I will love you.
Looby Loo
here we go looby loo,

And turn yourself about!
Nursery Rhymes:
Lazy Mary Will You Get Up?
Lazy Mary, will you get up,
Will you get up, will you get up?
Lazy Mary, will you get up
Will you get up today?
No, no, Mother, I won't get up,
I won't get up, I won't get up.
No, no, Mother, I won't get up,
I won't get up today.
Can have a discussion with the children about the word "lazy" and about how good it feels to sleep in sometimes.
On the other hand, about disobeying Mother by refusing to get up.

And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they will come home
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Boy Blue
Little boy Blue, come blow your horn
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack, fast asleep.
Could combine Little Boy Blue and Lazy Mary and compare them. Talk about why it's bad the sheep's in the meadow and the cow's in the corn.
What was the little boy supposed to be doing? Why do you think the boy was so tired? What is a haystack? What is a meadow?
Little Jack Horner
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner
Eating his Christmas pie.
he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum.
And said, "What a fine boy am I!"
Finger play:
Have children act out each animal.
The lion walks on padded paws
The squirrel leaps from limb to limb
While flies can crawl straight up a wall,
And seals can dive and swim
The worm, it wiggles all around,
The monkey swings by it's tail,
and birds may hop upon the ground
Or spread their wings and sail.
But boys and girls have much more fun
They leap
and dance
And walk
And run.
Leaves
The leaves are whirling round and round. (wave fingers in air)
The leaves are falling to the ground (wave fingers down to floor)
Round and round, round and round (roll one hand over the other)
Falling softly to the ground (softly wave hands down to ground.)
