We happen to have a fondness for Groundhog Day as good ol’ Punxsutawney Phil is from Pennsylvania. Of course, when he predicts six more weeks of winter we’re not exactly thrilled.
This year we’ll be celebrating Phil’s emergence from his burrow with a quick and easy Groundhog Day craft for kids.Â
A variation of the traditional cup-using craft, this one is much easier to store and send home with little learners.Â
Have fun!
