Binoculars and Bird Watching

Chickadees, doves, and some very large, dark birds that I can't identify :) were among the interesting birds we observed during our Winter and Snow Days unit.

Writing in Snow. . .

Shaving cream provides an especially fun medium for drawing snowmen and other shapes.

Ice Skating Party!

With pretty music in the background we glided and twirled our way around the preschool room using makeshift paper skates!

Snowball Fight!

"Watch out!" Simple paper skates became flying snowballs in the culminating event of our winter celebration!

Backyard Birdwatching. . .

"Migration" was the watchword as we learned how birds find a winter haven in sunny Arizona. After setting up a bird feeder and painting binoculars we were ready to hit the "birding" trail.

Writing in Snow!

Drawing snowmen and writing letters is extra fun in this soft, comfortable substitute for the real thing!

Ice Skating

Two pieces of paper, a pad of carpet and you're ready to go! None of us were ready for a "triple-toe-loop" but we enjoyed practicing our ice skating moves just the same.

Snowball Fight!

Our fun ice skating party turned into a perfect snowball fight!

(Perfect in that there were no "ouches" no cold, wet fingers, and very little mess!)
