Our Homeschool, Week 11: "Christmas"

Last week was Christmas, so of course we drew inspiration from our Christmas board!

Bu really liked his felt gingerbread man. I helped him with the face and he decorated the rest, hence the boot as a bow-tie :)

Below, there are a few of our tabletop activities...We did some penguin counting and I made a Christmas tree with letter ornaments so we could work on our letter recognition. He loved that Christmas tree! We also worked on color sorting "presents" and made some gluten-free salt dough ornaments as an art/sensory activity.





This was a last minute stroke of genius that hit me LOL..I wanted a quick little something to give to extended family for Christmas, so I just had some 4X4 photos of Bu with Santa printed up. I couldn't find appropriately sized envelopes and felt just a photo was a little wimpy, so I got to thinking! I set up a station with paint so we could make handprints on the back of the photos...then, when the handprints were dry, I laminated each photograph. I made a hole with a regular hole puncher (making sure to avoid Santa's head and the handprint on the back!) and strung a ribbon through. Voila! Instant ornament! Everyone loved them, and they were so easy and quick to make!



This week, we're learning about rainbows with our Rainbows board...We'll also be using this New Years Eve pack on the 31st, in case anyone else wants to print it!
