The Mitten
Feb
One of my favorite books for winter time is “The Mitten” by Jan Brett. So, we did this activity to go along with the book.
Here’s what you’ll need: 2 pieces of construction paper, some paint and something to paint with, contact paper and not pictured- scissors and a stapler.
You’ll also need the animals from the story. I printed these animals back when I used to get the Mailbox Etc magazine. But you can find some very similar printable animals here.
Paint the construction paper.
Cut out two mitten shapes. You’ll need the contact paper in a minute… so it shouldn’t really been in this picture.
Staple the two pieces of mitten together. Be sure to leave the bottom of the mitten open. Then cover with contact paper to make it last longer.
Get “The Mitten” by Jan Brett, the mitten and your animals.
Read the story together and put the animals into the mitten as you come to that part of the story.
Tot School- Week In Review
Feb
We had another fun filled and busy week of Tot-School. Here is a sampling of what we did, with links to the activities I posted about.
Our letter of the week was H so we made this letter H with hearts on it.
We did a fun little finger play called Disappearing Snowman Cookies and I made this little poster to go with it.
We made this Salt Dough Snowman and then decorated him.
Hailey used her foam blocks to build a train.
The weather was too cold to get outside, so I brought some snow inside for Hailey to play with.
We kept a cup of snow inside and checked on it throughout the day to see what would happen.
Then we made some delicious snowman cookies and Hailey had a blast decorating them.
