This week we are tackling the snow AGAIN!! This winter is has been very snow filled for sure!! The kids definitely are loving it and I don’t mind a little snow, but I have definitely had enough!! I am lucky that my husband does the brunt of the shoveling (ok, All the shoveling) so I don’t typically have to kill my back every time it snows.

In our effort to tackle the snow, we have our snowpants at the ready, and the kids are enjoying running around and sliding down their sleds in the snow.  Today we took out our daughters bike, because the road was cleared and let her ride up and down it.  Some other things you can do to tackle these long snow days…

• Bake Cookies
• Make Homemade Playdough
• Make some crafts
• Read some books
• Break out the board games, we played a fun one today called “guess who?”
• Have playdates
• Go Bowling
• Go to the library and get some new books and/or movies
• Get food coloring and mix it with water in a spray bottle and spray the snow different colors

This winter feels LONG and I am yearning for Spring!!  I can’t wait to be able to bring the kids to the park again, go for a walk and just sit outside enjoying the fresh air.  But in the meantime, I will tackle the snow!!

What are you tackling?

Supplies:

• Construction paper-white, purple, brown, blue and orange
• Scissors
• Black marker
• Glue
• Tupperware top-circle

Steps:

1. Trace 3 circles for snowman’s body and cut out
2. Cut out scarf, with small cuts on end to make fringe

If you have the book frosty the snowman it’s a great activity to read the book and work on this snowman craft after reading it with your child.

This week I tackled my daughters cabinet that was overflowing with artwork and crafts!  I have about five more cabinets to do but this was a start!!

This is actually midway through the art cabinet reorganization.

Reorganized!! Yeah!!  Only 5 more cabinets to go!!  What did you tackle this week?

This is a fun and easy Halloween Craft and Decoration to create with your kids! Kids love decorate for Halloween and to see their decorations up around the house.   With this Halloween Craft they can have their art work  displayed and make the house festive!

Supplies:

• Black Construction paper
• Old Sponges
• Scissors
• Orange and white Paint

Steps:

1. Cut a Pumpkin shape and Ghost shape from the old sponges (or buy sponges shaped like this at a craft store)
2. Get the black paper and put the orange paint and white paint each in a tupperware lid
3. Smooth out the paint so it covers most of the lid
4. Have your child “stamp” the sponge into the paint and then press down on the black construction paper  and pick straight up.
5. Have fun and make lots of ghosts and pumpkins!
