clowning around

We made paper plate clowns by painting faces, adding yarn hair, and cutting paper hats.  The balloon noses were a big hit with the littles - not so much with me.  I've developed an allergy to latex and my mouth didn't feel great after blowing up the balloons.  I guess when I was planning this I forgot that 3 and 4 year olds aren't really able to blow up their own balloons.  I got so caught up in thinking how much they'd enjoy the balloons that I forgot :)
