It's Snowing!

The children got messy with the shaving cream pretending it was snow. They drove their cars through the snow to see the tire tracks as well as clap to see the snowflakes fall down. We also had a snowball fight. It was lots of fun.

Decorating our Collage and Mixing colors

The children decorated their collage as well as experimented with finger paint to see what new colors was made when mixing the two primary colors together.  They made hand prints and drove cars over the paint to see the tire tracks.

Threading Beads, Stacking Cheerios on spaghetti noodles, and using tongs to pick up Pom-poms.

The children explored threading beads, picking up pom-poms with tongs, and stacking cheerios on un-cooked spaghetti noodles.

Stacking and Sorting blocks, making falling snowflakes, and play dough with spaghetti noodles.

The children enjoyed sorting and stacking blocks by color, making falling snowflakes, and strengthening their fine motor skills by playing with play doh and spaghetti noodles.
