I had planned on a short homeschool day because we were going on a scavenger hunt at our nature center with our homeschool group but Jumping Bean has a runny nose, so we are homebound. I quickly had to come up with some other things to keep them busy!
Continuing our snow them, we read the following books:
Snowbaby Could Not Sleep
Max & Mo Make a Snowman
Then the boys did a snowman craft on the front of a papertowel roll. JJ traced 3 circles for the snowman, we made eyes, nose, arms & mouth of of construction paper & glued them onto the papertowel roll. Then out of left over fleece scrapes we glued a scarf. For the hat I cut out pieces from the egg carton.
Then I had the boys put together a snowman, a beach ball snowman! Other than crafts I thought the beach balls would be more on a real scale. I made eyes, nose, bottons & mouth out of paper & then had them take turns taping them onto the balls then they put it together (held by packing tape). Finally we added a ballcap for a hat!
Other activities we did:
File folder fun (hot cold – Science)
Then we made banana snowmen. I made up a sheet that had pictures of what I wanted my preschooler to do, how to make a banana snowman. I wanted him to follow directions.
Snowball math (I put out cotton balls so my son could use them as counters) I wrote out math problems on a dry erase board for him to solve.
Be sure to come back for Day 4 (our final day) of our snow adventures!
Love the banana snowman 🙂
I like the idea of writing the directions in pictures for your recipe..and the beach ball snowman is so creative!
I love the beach ball snowman, that is so cute!
