Snow Month Activities

I am a theme person. Not surprising with my crazy ways of needing things to match and coordinate...its just the way I am. SO I decided January would need to be snow month and, of course, got a late start on any snow-themed activities from the move, and tried to fit it all in last week...when it was 70 degrees. :) Needless to say, I did some activities on the days that weren't so warm, but then it just seemed a bit ridiculous to have snowman pancakes after wearing sunglasses and sun hats at the zoo...so it had to run into February just a bit.



Our activities: reading winter books at Barnes and Noble, making snowman cards and mailing them, cutting out snowflakes, making a winter place-mat by gluing on the snowflakes and some snowmen pictures cut from old Christmas cards, so she could do it all herself (well, I did the glue) (this idea goes all the way from my childhood when we made Valentine's place-mats which I LOVED), snowy little people and snowball fights with cotton balls (what do you really use them for these days anyway?), gluing cotton balls on paper for a snowman (hers looks more like a snow caterpillar), and finally, snowman pancakes! (Stole that idea from a magazine.)

Looking forward to February fun!
