So far here's what we've done this month -
Art Projects
Gingerbread Man

We tried 'snow painting'. You basically use a squirt of shaving cream and some elmer's glue, mix it up and have at it! I don't think I got the consistancy right because it didn't dry very 'snow' like.
I drew a snowman on Meg's so she'd have a guide. She pretty much just painted the whole thing anyways. Man did my kitchen smell good and clean after this craft!

This was supposed to be a popsicle stick Christmas tree however she insisted on coloring it red. Just look at her fingers. :)

In The Kitchen
We've done A LOT of baking here. I love cooking and Megan is always right there eager to help - and lick the beaters or sample a fresh cookie!




Science
This FX snow is the coolest stuff! Since we have not gotten any snow yet here this year, this is the next best thing. It feels like the real thing and it's so fun to stick your hands in. It's even cold like real snow. You just had a little water and watch it grow.


Learning
Like I said, we kind of 'lacked' in the learning area this month. When I did bring this shapes gingerbread house out, she did NOT want to do it. So I sat down with it on the floor and did it by myself and eventually she came over to see.


I swiped some paint sample cards from the hardware store (2 of each color strip). Then cut one set up and glued it to clothes pins. Megs has to try and clip on to the correct color. This had been hard as some of the lighter colors are very similar. Sticking to just 1 color strip at a time though helps.


File Folder game - making the cookies to the cookie sheet outline. She really liked this and went back to it again and again throughout the day. That is until the dog ATE the moon cookie. Oops.


Life
We've been struggling with naps lately. Some days we just aren't home in time for her to lay down. On other days when we are home, she fights it saying she's not tired. When she does take a nap, going to bed at night takes her a little while longer. On this night she was messing around in her room and she always takes her PJ's off because she's hot. I thought it was cute that she tucked in her animals and fell asleep like that.
