My blog features the activities and projects I do with my children. I have 3 children age 11, 7 and 4. I watch an infant, plus my 4 year old nephew! This blog highlights the activities/projects we create during the week. It also provides a way for me to organize all of the activities and projects we do, and it is a great way to share the projects/activities. I hope this blog will become a great resource and inspire creativity.

Stick Snowman!
This is another repost from last year, but Ty and Addie made their very own Stick Snowmen this year just like Connor's snowman (above).
Day 1 of the week - The theme this week is Snowmen. The letters of the week are e, f and H the numbers of the week are 2, 3, 4.
Project - Stick Snowman- Connor and Lauren painted paint stir sticks white. They added buttons down the center of the snowman. They glued on googly eyes and button noses. I cut strips of red felt for the scarves and tied them onto the 2 snowmen. I cut hats out of black foam and Connor and Lauren glued the hats on. I looped red ribbon and attached the ribbon to the back of the hat. Materials Needed - paint stir sticks, white paint, black foam, buttons, googly eyes, red felt, scissors, glue, paint brush, red ribbon
Learning Activities:
Today's Activities:Handwriting - Staying in the lines on curvy, zig-zag paths
Numbers- the number 2 and 3, writing, counting
Reading Readiness - The Same and DifferentShapes - Circles and Squares
Writing Letters - Lowercase e
I love all your snowman crafts you've been doing. This one has to be my favorite! That would make a cute magnet!
