i had extra egg cartons cardboard from the grocery store and i was convinced that something fun could be done with them i had an idea but when val posted the puffy paint snowman http learningdevelopmentactivities blogspot com 2012 01 puffy paint snowman html i knew that my idea just got a new twist prep cut cardboard egg carton compartments out they will stand up on their own and they don t need to be pretty make puffy paint equal parts glue and shaving cream i used 1 4 cup of each and it was way too much for 3 snowmen maybe try 1 8 cup 2 t of each to start i felt like i wasted a whole bunch of glue gather supplies paintbrushes cut out carrot nose construction paper buttons beads wiggly eyes or cut out of paper small squares or circles for the mouth ribbon for scarf glitter the decorations are optional so go wild with what you have on hand oh and you ll need toilet paper directions i put down a coffee filter for them to paint on so it didn t get on the table it s easy to clean up so that part is not necessary stuff one carton w toilet paper for stability paint with puffy paint stuff 2 nd carton with toilet paper this allows for stacking like a snowman is built either paint in hand or while on the 1st carton stuff 3rd carton head paint decorate allow to dry before moving should take about 12 24 hours to dry depending on the amount of paint used posted by

in preschool and has been ever in love with it since this is made from puffy paint which is simply equal parts shaving cream and white glue you mix the two together and then paint with it or glob it to make a nice snowman she also used pieces of construction paper to create the eyes noses mouth hat and arms lay flat to dry once it is dry you can touch it and feel is puffiness now she just wants it to have feet so it can walk around like frosty posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels art snowman monday january 16 2012 surviving winter story time at the library image source i think a huge secret to making it through the winter months and still being sane happy and even a bit improved is to get a change of scenery every so often one way to do this is story time at your local library how awesome is the local library all that free stuff every library does story time differently for some it is a come one come all thing where you just show up and get some stories read my library requires you sign up ahead of time but they do really neat things for the children with fun crafts handouts and treats and not all storytimes are at the library we have a non profit center close to our home that focuses on the history of the american west they do a free storytime weekly that is full of stories games crafts and food and it is come one come all no sign ups required learn about the resources you have around you by asking moms with older children reading the papers and checking websites storytime offers a love of reading along with a social outing that is low pressure this is a great winter rainy day or hot day activity posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels library reading surviving winter wednesday january 11 2012 surviving winter extra book reading part of combatting winter crazies is keeping the mind engaged when you are stuck inside for longer hours than usual reading extra books is a fun way to pass the time and engage the mind try adding an extra story session to your day at some point maybe after breakfast or lunch or just before nap time chase the winter blues away with a pile of books posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels reading surviving winter monday january 9 2012 surviving winter baking my idea behind surviving through the winter months with sanity happiness and fun cooped up in the house is to find things that will keep my children so they don t feel the need to pull out every toy and game we own and to prevent bickering that can happen when people are bored we have structured days but you need some free play baking is something that all three of my children love to do the measuring pouring mixing not only is there a lot to learn while baking math fine motor life skills there is a lot of time to talk it is a great moment to bond and get to know your children a bit better plus you get food made at the same time yum so do some baking this winter your tummy and your child will thank you for it posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels baking cooking surviving winter wednesday january 4 2012 winter books 2012 time for some great winter books these really are all must haves in our home the big snow by berta hader and elmer hader caldecott winner of 1949 this is my four year old s favorite winter book right now she is my major animal lover and this book is right up her lane as a story about the animals preparing for winter snowmen at night by caralyn buehner and mark buehner this is a great story for sparking the imagination of children what do snowmen do at night why do their shapes change over time it must be that they are out playing with their friends the snowman by raymond briggs this is a total classic it is a wordless picture book which is great on so many levels my two year old loves this for telling herself the story here comes darrell by leda schubert this has been a favorite of my six year old son s for several years it is about darrell and the various service he does for his neighbors it isn t all about winter but part of it is and it is definitely worth taking note of anyone who loves equipment like plows and tractors will love this book a polar bear journey by debbie s miller this is another favorite of my animal loving four year old this book is factual and offers lots of information on polar bears told in a way that is interesting to children posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
