More Animals in the Winter

We continued learning about what animals do in the winter with this printable from Isty Bitsy Learners.  Hailey had to cut out 9 different pictures…

…then she had to sort them based on whether the animal hibernates, migrates or adapts.

Then we talked about squirrels do in the winter.

Hailey colored a squirrel.

Then made him a nest to keep him warm all winter.

Animals in the Winter

This week Hailey is learning all about what animals do during the winter.  We read several books about hibernating and have talked about hibernating, migrating and adapting.

Hailey made a book about where all the different animals sleep during the winter.

Here is the completed book- printables for this can be found at Itsy Bitsy Learners.

Then we learned about how the snowshoe hare adapts during the winter.

The snowshoe hare started out brown but then lost that fur and it grew back in white.  So Hailey painted a brown rabbit with white paint.

Then she added some cotton.

Heart Fish

I didn’t know what to do for a craft today and since we have been busy getting our house ready to put up for sale I was just going to skip an activity for today.  But then I saw this really cute (and very easy) heart fish over at Totally Tots (which if you are not reading yet, you have to start!) and just had to do it.

Here’s what you’ll need: background piece of paper, 1 large heart, 3 medium sized hearts, 1 small heart, 1 teeny-tiny heart, glue and something to decorate your fish with (we used sequins).

Glue your fish together.  The large heart is for the body of the fish, the 3 mediums are for a tail and fins, the small one is for his mouth and the teeny tiny one is for an eye.

Add some decorations to the fish.

Penguins

We have been talking about winter animals for our craft time, so I thought it would be fun to make a penguin.

Here’s what you’ll need- construction paper- black, orange, white and blue, glue, wiggle eyes, scissors and some items to decorate your penguin.

Cut out a black body for your penguin, then white for his stomach. Cut two arms out of the black paper, two legs and a beak out of the orange paper.  I cut up some blue and purple paper for decorating.

 Hailey decorated the tummy of the penguin using stickers and the blue and purple pieces of paper.

Then Hailey put her penguin together on a piece of blue construction paper, for sturdiness.  She also added pom poms to the penguins tummy.

Here is the finished penguin.
