Valentine's Day and Spring Craft

I was looking for a cute craft idea for February and I came across this adorable idea on 

Scrumdillydo blog:  Pretty Valentine Trees

These trees are fun and easy to make, and add a nice splash of color for February.  As we worked on this craft, my teacher brain was working overtime!  For a spring craft, make the tree trunk the same way as the Valentine Trees.  Use a q-tip to create green leaves (in various shades of green) and pink blossoms.  Finally, use a cotton ball to create a fluffy little baby bird on the limbs (two bounces with the cotton ball to make a body and head).  Finally, use a toothpick to paint eyes and a beak on the baby bird.  These great work of art will brighten up any spring day!
