Tot School - Snowmen & Snow

C is 32 Months
(J is 10 months)

 C dropped the buttons we used in last week's activities into a water bottle

 Sorted hot and cold pictures
(images were from a Mailbox Magazine from a few years ago)

 Glued circles (snowballs) onto paper

C used scissors for the first time! I helped her cut on the line and thought it was too hard for her since we were struggling. After that I just let her do it on her own and she cut (off the line) just fine!

 Traced lines
Printables from Itsy Bitsy Learners

 Threw yarn snowballs into a garbage can
 J had some sensory fun with the snowballs! (with close supervision of course)

Other things we did with the snowballs, but I did not get pictures
* Snowball fights! C thought that was great!
* Tossed them onto our foam ABC mat and named the letter it landed on
* juggling -- well attempting to :)

Foil snowflake (idea from Frugal Family Fun Blog)
We did this together, C lost interest :(
Name Snowman (idea from Live, Learn, Love)
C and I worked together to make J's while she napped.

We played with small colorful hair ties.

 They are great fine motor practice for making patterns and sorting colors


 She also matched the pattern on her pants

    Hi there. Popped over from totschool. Looks like a fun week. I also have several old mailbox magazines that I use from time to time for my little one.
