Do you want to build a snowman??

 

 

Here is what you will need!

 

Plus a marker...I forgot to get the marker in the shot.

 

 

 

Here is where you can find FOAM BALLS.

 

 

If you need craft sticks you can of course also find them on Amazon!

 

First impale your snowman on the craft stick.

You can use any craft sticks these are just what I had on hand!

 

 

"Oh look! I've been impaled."

If you stick a piece of playdoh on your work surface your snowman will stand up!

 

 

Then comes the fun part of decorating him!

 

I cut a piece of an orange craft stick to make the nose.

Collect a couple sticks (if you have little boys -check their pockets then you don't have to go outside)

 

 

 Cut a piece of felt to make the scarf...yes I know Olaf didn't have a scarf but our snowman does!

 

 Use that marker I spoke of earlier, but didn't photograph, to make the eyes, mouth, and buttons!

 

 Happy Snowman making!!!

 

 

 



Phases of the Moon

 

 

 

Today my Kindergartener was learning about the Phases of the Moon!

 

We made model a Earth and Moon and talked about how they orbit.

We also talked about the sun reflecting off the moon and how depending on where the moon is in it's orbit is how much light we see reflecting!

 

 

Here is what you will need to make your models.

 

 

First break a piece of playdoh off

 

 

Smoosh the popsicle stick into it.

(you could also use a toothpick or pencil if you don't have popsicle sticks on hand)

 

Put the foam ball on top of that!





 



 

Have them paint it!

 



 

Everyone wanted to get in on the action!

We then took them into the bathroom and used a flashlight to show how the light reflects differently. 

I also cut some moons out of paper and had her glue them down to show the different phases of the moon.

 

 

A quick google search of phases of the moon will come up with loads of info and great pics!!

One small step for mom, one giant leap for our Homeschool day!
