Week 19: Day 2 Winter Sensory Fun

 Sensory bin:

Winter theme-  White epson salt & clear jewels

Sensory bins are addictive.  The more do, the more you want to do.  You'll be walking down the isles at the store and everything will give you a new sensory bin idea.  This one was really easy and not messy.  I just place a large sheet under the girls and let them go.  Afterwards I just take my sheet outside and shake it off.  So easy.

Fluttershy is really into counting.  Which I find interesting since she just barely turned 2.
The jewels were her counting tools. she didn't play much with the espon salt this time but was more focused on the jewels.

 This weather was been wonderful. 

I know the girls have their coats on, but it was more like jacket weather. 

I just couldn't find their jackets.

Art- Snowman Necklace or Ornament Make a snowman that you can wear as a necklace or use as an ornament.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• White glue (like Elmer's glue)
• Paper clip
• Waxed paper
• Scraps of construction paper: black, and orange
• A hole punch (for cutting eyes, and buttons)
• Scissors
• Googly eyes (from a craft store) - optional
• Tiny buttons - optional
• 2 very tiny twigs (for arms)
• String or yarn (for hanging it)

Working on waxed paper, spread 2 or 3 blobs of white glue in the shape of a snowman. Unfold a paper clip into a V-shape (to use as a hanger).

Cut a tiny hat from black construction paper and put it on the snowman on top of the paper clip hanger. Put the ends of the paper clip into the glue at the top of the snowman. For the snowman's eyes, use black paper circles cut with a hole punch, or use googly eyes. Put the eyes on the snowman. Add a tiny orange (carrot-shaped) nose. Add a few paper buttons (or small real buttons) down the front of the body.

Let the glue dry - it will take a few days. When it dries, the glue will become transparent. When it is completely dry, peel it gently off the waxed paper. String the snowman on some yarn for a cool necklace or use a shorter string to use as an ornament.
