S is for snow and super fun, homemade playdough. I used our regular playdough recipe and after it was cooled, I had the kids mix in silver glitter.
They had fun kneading the glitter into the playdough, and the results were great!
Shimmering "snow" to play with all afternoon.
We also made "s" with our playdough---"s" is our letter this week.
It was a little harder for some to make the letter "s" than others.

It was a little harder for some to make the letter "s" than others.This task seemed to give Luke some stress.
I found some printables at First-School for some writing practice.

Cottenball snowmen---holding hands.
This is the kids new favorite activity book.
There are so many cute activities on this site, you have to go and take a look around.
Kimberly and Luke especially enjoyed using the glue all by themselves. It was hard for me to stand by and watch their efforts, but it was well worth the pride they had in their finished work.

This is the kids new favorite activity book. The Kumon book of Pasting Jigsaw Puzzles.
S is for strawsberry.
Kim was very careful with her work--she wanted it "just right".
Luke's puzzle.
S is for strawsberry.I cut the puzzle out for both kids today, but Luke could probably cut the easier puzzles on his own.
Kimberly is not quite there in her cutting ability yet. The book states it is for ages 4-6. Kimmy is 3 and loves the puzzles and loves to glue the pieces in place.
I love the "frame" they have for putting the puzzle together.

Luke's puzzle.S is for space shuttle.
Stay tuned for more "s" fun, coming later this week.

Love the snow! I'm pinning it to my winter board on Pinterest. What fun for the coming snowy days. Kristi
I love this idea! We look forward to a fall playdough every year: orange food coloring and pumpkin pie spice for scent. I'm going to incorporate this for a winter playdough and add some peppermint extract. Thanks for the great idea!

I came across this post on Pinterest and I love the ideas you shared! My 3 year old daughter is sitting here with me and as soon as she saw the cotton ball snowman she said "that's so cute!"
Made your play dough recipe today, which I found on Pinterest. Thank you! Oops, I even dumped the sprinkles in while it was cooking instead of afterwards but it worked just fine. Will be making this again for sure. Thanks again!
Great snowmen!!
We are currently reading "Number the Stars" too--I LOVE it! I keep saying, "One more chapter.." because I want to know what happens!!
Next we are either reading Bible stories or Medieval tales...
