Cheerful Creatures

"Cheerful Creatures!"

I remember growing up and getting one of these little pom-pom guys from my 1st grade teacher.  I think they were called warm fuzzies or love bugs.  I was inspired to make my own version when I saw them again on Amanda's blog, called the Teaching Chick."

I do a lot with my 4th graders and the book called "How  Full is your Bucket," and being a happy, positive person, so I knew I had to call my little fuzzy guys, "Cheerful Creatures!"  

The sparkly pom-poms were so soft!  I cut the felt out in a heart shape, and then hot glued on the wiggly eyes, antennas, and heart-shaped feet.  I decorated a container I bought from the Container Store, and typed up a little sign and description that I put inside the jar.

They are so cute to look at.  I am excited to hand them out to my students that are showing our 7 virtues and being "bucket-fillers."

I think I like so much too, because they remind me of "Marcel the Shell."  I will try and link up the video of that on my post too.  It is so funny!  Have fun making them!
