Snip Snip Snow

Tot School Winter Theme: Day 2

Today we read the book, Snip... Snip... Snow! by Nancy Poydar.  

James somewhat enjoyed it.  He was a little antsy and not particularly in the mood for story time.  But we got through it and then decided to make snowflakes.  I let him check out his scissors for the first time, but he didn't do any cutting.

I cut circles and then folded them and made two snowflakes.  His patience level is pretty short at this age!

He loved throwing the snowflakes in the air and watching them fall.

He really wanted to take them outside and play with them.  

Next we had a little snack time and made tortilla snowflakes.  Very quick, easy and delicious!

We folded them.

Snipped them... and voila!  Snowflakes.

Then I brushed them with a little butter and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on the top.  They baked in a 400 degree oven for five minutes.  James got a little impatient during the bake time and just decided to eat one plain.

Once out of the oven I sprinkled with powdered sugar.

And then we were ready to enjoy them!  Delightful!

Our last activity was a little playdoh time.  I don't have a very large selection of cookie cutters so there weren't many winter theme options.  A tree and a circle had to do!  So we made a snowman and a Christmas tree.

Then little brother woke up and it was time to run to the store, so that was all for today!
