More Winter Fun

So way back in January we finished up Ww and Ss themed weeks with winter and Snow activities. Here are some pictures of a few things we did...

I just think they look so cute and so big working their "projects" at their little work tables.
(Garage sale finds...and they have been fun, fun for them.)

 We read books about animals in the winter time and Marin colored and cut out animals to put in an Animal Homes in the Winter poster we made.

She is doing such a great job cutting these days. Love the tongue. Helps concentration, you know.

Hollis had animals to color and cut too. :o)

Glueing her animals in the correct home. She was really cute doing this one! So proud of her work.

This was a cute idea I saw on Pinterest and I thought Marin would love it because it involved Gummy Bears. But she didn't care at all. But the idea...roll the die, count the number of bears out, and place them in the "cave" to hibernate. We really talked about the word hibernate but she would always say "the bear is taking a nappy in the cave."

We miss many things about Chicago but winter is NOT one of them. Since we aren't "playing" in all that snow they are getting up there here in Texas, we made some pretend snow for the sand/water table. It was cornstarch and lotion. Weird combo but it did feel really neat to play with. We even put it in the refrigerator so it would be cold like snow. :o)

Another hibernating activity. Marin did this one all on her own and she was so.very.proud. She cut the brown strips of paper and glued them on the "cave".  Then she colored and glued her bear inside the cave.

So sweet. 

And a non-winter activity but we had to read Where the Wild Things Are for Ww! Fun book. But this was a simple "story mat" math activity. Simple, simple but the girls just cut, counted, and glued the wild things onto the story mats.
