We are snowed-in today!!!
Oh how I love this time of year.
Here are some snips from our indoor SNOWBALL FIGHT (aka spelling time!)

Name Practice
Blaise in turning THREE soon!
For his birthday I filled this vintage tin with recycled manipulatives to encourage a little NAME practice! I think he’ll get a kick out of the mini activities. My favorite name “tool” is the tape measure with his name underneath. Scrabble tiles are tucked inside the orange mint container.

ABC Treasure Box
Our ABC treasure box!!!
Idea via the terrifically creative Pink & Green Mama– HERE!
Perfect for phonetic awareness, story-telling, spelling, and loads of treasure (junk and photo) hunting!

Little Loom
Ever since Mason came home from school with this little loom set he has been interested in SEWING activities! His Grammy gave him lessons when he was on vacation and he even asked for a SEWING machine for his birthday. I love that he doesn’t discriminate— from sports to sewing he loves it all!
He teaches me more than I could ever teach him.
[Book Kit] Miss Nelson is Missing!
I enjoy making little interactive kits to accomany our favorite books. Miss Nelson is Missing was my all time favorite when I was a kid and I still love Marshall & Allard’s irresistible characters today!
How can anyone resist Detective McSmogg and kids of room 207?
BOOK KIT CONTAINS:
“Most Wanted” Story Character Cards
Detective McSmogg’s Decoder (Red Robin Coasters)
Finger Printing Cards & Ink Pad
Top Secret Evidence Collection Container (Recycled Card Case)

Detective McSmogg is going undercover to solve the case!
We even did a little spit ball painting to get the full Miss Nelson experience! I might post those next. 
Only a few days of winter left and we plan on taking advantage of these last snowy days by cuddling up with lots of good books.
Enjoy YOUR day!

Summer Address Practice
I recycled a stack of those pesky magazine subscription post cards to make this little practice book.
Each morning the kindergartner-to-be gets to fill out a new postcard to get a bit of ADDRESS PRACTICE!
Maybe I’ll send one in and he’ll get a surprise magazine at the end of the summer!
