Winter Ice Is Nice!

Well it has been one of those winters... But if you can't beat 'em.... then join 'em!  We brought snow inside (we can bring lots of it in!)  made icicle paintings, made melted snowmen, talked about what snowmen do at night (did you know they played a snowball baseball game?!) and we even made colorful snowman (sometimes the white snow is just so BORING to look at!!)  We also had a fake snowball fight with loofah's and the kids LOVED it... who doesn't need to get some of this winter energy out!!  
After reading "The Mitten" we were able to sequence the story on paper and also act it out with our giant mitten... How many preschoolers can you fit into a 6 foot mitten???  We tried as hard as we could, but ended up with only 4 or 5... Not too bad!  At least they were warm and snuggly!
