Winter

This post is being written in the middle of January when we have been having unseasonably warm temperatures. How fortunate we were to explore the concept of winter in December when it was really cold and we even had some snow!

Playing the snowman game.

This teaches number recognition, turn taking, and patience and delayed gratification when you roll a number you already have.

One cold, wintery morning we looked at how we get dressed for the weather. Lots of hoods.

Lots of mittens and gloves.

Even more boots.

Let's go explore! Here we are checking out the Wildlife Sanctuary.

Look! Someone built a snowman!

More boots.

The bird baths were frozen solid... poor birds.

Look at all of the shapes of ice we found in the mud kitchen!

Ugh! This ice in the wagon is hard to break into pieces.

Let's play the idea of snow inside where it's much warmer.

Lots of cute little play doh snowmen.

Here is a snow park in the texture table. It takes teamwork to get the snow slide to work.

Eskimos and their dogs zip down the slide while the polar animals cheer! Hooray for winter!
