We read some of our favorite books about snow:

- The Big Snow
- The Snowy Day
- Katy and the Big Snow
- Snow Is Falling (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 1)
- The Little Island
Winter Dessert Sculptures
Making Snowflakes
The girls love using scissors...
Here is what happens when momma leaves the room for a second and a scissor happy little girl cuts too much! 
Ah! That's better!
I thought I took a picture of the door covered in snowflakes, but I guess I didn't... Oh well!
Decorating Snowflakes
These are part of the Snowy Day Lapbook from Homeschool Share.(which doesn't seem so be working right now)
I wanted to make this Snowman Dessert, but my kiddos had had enough sugar as it was! The girls did have fun with this Virtual Snowman.
Last week the girls continued the theme and worked on lapbooks. Chiquita is doing a simple Snow Lapbook and Twinkle Toes is making one based on The Snowy Day

You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteWith three little ones, 7 and under, I'm still trying how to figure out the "creative lessons" and orderly (notice I didn't say "clean") home... any ideas????
ReplyDeleteI seem to be barely keeping my head above water....

(sorry, still no time to figure out how to make my own blog....)
fun indeed! what a neat idea-the preschool group. i don't do enough for my little guy with other kids. this has sparked some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWe did the snowman dessert instead of the snowscapes!! (because of the reason you didn't do the snowmen!)
ReplyDeleteI love the dog house thing....uh, wishful dog wanter, huh?
Come on mom, can't you get her a dog?
Our Little Saints has slowed down, but we did do "Looby Loo" a lot this past week! I think we are done with the snow stuff and ready to move on. We kind of stretched that unit on for the past month!
how fun!

Culinary art! That's a favorite of mine. ~Teresa
ReplyDeleteLove the snow idea. Man...how do they make all that yummy stuff without eating it and getting sick!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like to much fun!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteAngel ~ It is tough, though I think as it becomes a part of your routine, it seems to get easier... Although, that probably doesn't help much??
Christine ~ I didn't say they didn't eat any!! That afternoon was CRAZY after my children eating way too much sugar!! This was probably a one time only project! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, fun! I've got to let the kids make snowflakes soon. They'll enjoy it. Thanks for the reminder!
