LOVE-flakes

We got the real deal last night and this morning!  

Snowflakes!

I already had on my schedule

that we would water color snowflakes.

It worked out perfect because the kids were ALL about the snow!!

But then one of my favorite blogs Teach Preschool

lets everyone share on her facebook page their blog and she picks a topic

which was Valentines day...honestly valentines day hasn't even crossed my mind yet!

but then I decided to make the snowflakes by cutting hearts into them!

Which we then called LOVE-flakes!

All you need is circle paper 

a scissors

water color

paintbrush

I have no idea how to tell you how to cut a snowflake! 

I just do it :)

So here are a few that I cut!

Then let the kids paint away!!!

Here are some finished snowflakes

We then tied string around my light fixture, taped them to the string, and

Ta-da!

There are a lot more hanging now! 

It looks so "pretty" according to the kids!!

I am waiting for the child that comes along and takes a swing at it! :)

Happy Friday!!!

Build a Snowman

It is FREEZING outside today!

There will be no going out to build a real snowman

so we are staying inside and making our own little snowmen!

First we read the Story

Sneezy the Snowman

Very cute book about a snowman that has a cold and his friends give him their clothes to keep him warm

but Sneezy just can't seem to regulate his temperature...

you will have to read the story to find out more

After we read the Story we made our own snowman!

What I did:

(there are many many ways to make a snowman!)

I cut out 3 circles, small, medium, and large

the children didn't need to use one of each but I wanted to provide them with options

gathered some pom poms for decorating

I also cut hats, scarfs, orange triangles, and sticks from felt

set the items on the table

and let the kids go to work!!

I love how creative they can be!!

 Here are a couple of our Final Products!

What Kind of Snowmen are you making??

More pics from the great outdoors!

I think I had a record today of taking 21 mins to dress and get 8 kids and myself out the door!

not to bad!  considering it was 36 mins yesterday with  10 kids! 

Anyways...

here are some pics of the kiddos hanging around outdoors!!
