On day 4 we made paper snowflakes. We haven't gotten any real snow yet since we have still, in December, been experiencing 80 degree days so I decided I would give the weather a little bit of encouragement.
I folded all the paper during nap time so that would be one less thing for me to have to worry about. We made 10 large snow flakes and 10 small snow flakes. I think I had more fun folding the paper than Dart did with the scissors.
When he woke up from his nap I let him open the envelope to see what the project was. It turned out, yet again, to a bit more advanced for him than I realized it would be so he spent some time watching cartoons while I did most of the actual cutting of the patterns. But that's ok. As long as fun was being had.
Once they were all cut out the fun part began. GLITTER!!! Yes folks that's right. We used glitter. I mean, come on, they had to look like REAL snow flakes and to me they have always sparkled a bit. So I added the glue and Dart got to sprinkle on the glitter.
Here is out end product:
Once they were dry I divided them up and taped them to our down stairs windows. Hopefully this will encourage the weather to be a bit more Christmasy.
Day 5 was just coloring Christmas coloring pages.
I decided that we would need a "down day" after all the fun activities we have been doing.
I picked up these coloring books at Walmart for $1.00 a piece. There were others but these were the three on top so I grabbed them. I have left them out where Dartanion can get to them in case his artistic side wants to color.
Here is Dart coloring his pictures:
This one didn't last very long. The action on the T.V. that I didn't turn off this time was just too much but hey, that is what happens sometimes right?
