Praises of a Wife and Mommy

We have not had much snow this winter so we had to improvise our snowman this year.  My daughter loved the idea of staying inside... she is a summer girl.  She is not a fan of being outside as she hates being cold.   Gather the items you would use on a snowman or create some of your own items.  We made a carrot nose and buttons out of paper.   Grab a roll of toilet paper and get wrapping.  You can have your child turn in circles or you can go around them.  Then add the buttons, carrot nose, hat, mittens.  Giggle and sing Frosty the Selah!  :)  (or your child's name)  This activity is sure to please any preschooler.  If you have more then one child they will have a ton of fun wrapping each other up!  :) PS... we are not going to waste the toilet paper I rolled it back up to use!  HA!

We could have made a 100 of these adorable snowflakes.   Here is what you need: coffee filters bingo dotters (markers will work too but will take much longer) scissors Here is how to create: Fold the coffee filter in half and then in half again.  Color both sides with the bingo dotter.  After you have them all colored unfold them and let them dry, you can not cut them until they have time to dry.  Once dry fold them back up and get ready to cut.  Then make sure you have do not cut the one corner that holds it all together.  I did some hand over hand with cutting and also let my daughter have fun with the scissors.  Every snowflake is different just like real snow flakes.    :)  Have fun discussing the differences and if you can look at real snowflakes.  Our snow is all melting with this unusual heat wave so google snowflake images and it will create some fun on the computer.  :) Once you are comparing the snowflake...
