Winter Play!  I don't know about you, but I just Love the snow! I'm guessing some of your little friends do to! Snow offers wonderful Opportunities for Learning Science. Gross Motor and Make Believe play ( who doesn't love to build a snow fort). you can even use snow to create art! have you ever "painted" snow? mix jello or Kool aid in a small amount of water and fill a squirt bottle!  the kids will have a blast. Trying to write your name or make lines for pictures in the snow is great eye hand coordination. I hope you enjoyed these activities, and If there something you might be struggling with? or feeling frustration around while you're creating and engaging at home?  leave me a message and I would love to help in any way I can.

This is a wonderful time of year to work with your little ones to create art that makes wonderful Gifts and Keep Sakes. I as an adult make my own Christmas Cards every year, and Its a wonderful time for letting our little friends join in. I still have many of the wonderful holiday decorations that I made as a child! I am going to share with you two special activities my friends have recently done. The first is Circle Christmas Trees. the kids had soo much fun stamping these. You can use TP rolls or plastic cups of different sizes (super cute with different sizes).  Then I gave the children shapes but you can use any art supplies you have around the house or classroom. These are what the children used to "decorate" their tree. I think they are adorable and I hope you do as well. Since It snowed over the weekend, my friends w...
