It's winter time! Well, like my title says, not really where we live in Alabama but at least it is in the Alligator room! The craziness of living in the South - 60-70 degree Winter days! We spend January in our class learning about Winter, Seasonal Clothing, Snowman, Penguins, Bears & Hibernation and Emotions & Manners. I am bringing you three different crafts we have done in this post!
I decided it would be fun to practice spelling our names and recognizing the letters by building a snowman with our names. My aide and I each sat with a child and let them tell us the letters to spell their names. Our kids are all 3 now so we are working very hard on this!
Seasonal Clothing is not always the easiest craft idea. So I thought it would be more fun to paint plates skin color and then add eyes, construction paper hair and ear muffs. For fun, they stamped a snowflake and sprinkled iridescent glitter onto a tongue like they were catching snowflakes!
The kids loved this craft as they got to eat a sweet treat once they were finished. I created a dotted line snowman on my computer and then we cut them out and glued them on light blue paper. We helped outline the circles with glue and the kids got a container of marshmallows to create their snowman and trace along the dotted lines. Of course, once done, they got to eat their leftover marshmallows.
