Our Snowy Morning

When we woke up this morning it was snowing outside. I thought it would be fun to celebrate this snowy day by making a snowman! Grace thought this was a great idea and upon hearing this she asked to wear her snowman shirt. Grace later added a hat and scarf to complete her snowy day outfit! After getting dressed we gathered all of our snowman books and put them in a bin next to the reading chair in our living room. Grace and Jack cuddled together in the chair and Grace read Jack several of her snowman books. Jack especially enjoyed hearing Grace's version of the book, Snowmen At Night by Caralyn Buehner.

Here is a close up of Grace's snowman button shirt made by Maddy ~ the perfect choice for today!

After reading books, Grace went to work making her snowman. Grace glued cotton balls onto three paper plates, which we taped together to make our snowman. Grace then decorated a scarf and we later glued on a hat, eyes, a carrot nose, and a mouth. Grace used sticks for the arms.

I asked Grace what she wanted to name her snowman and she said Frosty. We hung Frosty over Grace's art area so Grace can look at it while she works at her art table. Jack will also be able to see Frosty while playing on his play mat!
