S is for Snow

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.

This task seemed to give Luke some stress.

I found some printables at First-School for some writing practice.

This is a great site when you are looking for a quick activity.

S is for "snowman"!

This is a very cute, very simple, snowman craft.

I found this printable at Childcareland.

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.

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.

Kim was very careful with her work--she wanted it "just right".

Luke's puzzle.

S is for space shuttle.

Stay tuned for more "s" fun, coming later this week.
