After a little hiatus called Thanksgiving, we finally did a Time for Tots Day again. This time our theme was seasons... with a winter emphasis, as who doesn't love winter (especially when it is in the 60's :p).
We started off with some identifying season's worksheets. The kids cut out the name of each season and then put the corresponding pictures under each name.


We did a few more season's worksheet.



Nothing like fudge to make everything better.
And the the grand finale our snowmen craft. I am proud to say we made these snowmen with supplies we already had.
--Googly eyes--also leftover from Turkey craft
--Hats-I made out of card stock
--Toothpicks--we always have toothpicks at our house
--Fuzzy balls-from a big bag I bought a while back just for fun
--Felt pipe cleaners (not pictured)
--the other stuff (other than glue, scissors-- we didn't use as well we got lazy)
I used a knife and cut a tiny bit off the bottom ball--to make it flat so they would stand. We then used toothpicks to stick the balls together.


And what is Alex doing? Well she's picking her teeth with a toothpick of course....anyone that knows my husband will appreciate this (he is the reason we have such a big box of toothpicks)
And finally the finished product.
Yes it is missing a mouth... we were going to paint one on
(hence the black paint in other picture)
but we just called it good.

Oh-and we got the hats on by sticking a toothpick through the bottom circle of the hat then just pushing it on. It worked great.
