So, a few friends and k wanted more for our kids not able to go to school. We started a new Mommy (grandparents, dads, guardians whoever) and me group. Each week we choose a book, song that coordinates with book, craft and then do two letters of the week and coordinate handprint letters. 

Last week we started our winter theme with snowman. We took good to grow juice containers that are recycled made snowman, and did handprint letters S for snowman and T for turtles. We also song I'm a little snowman to the tune of in a little teacup. 

The snowman wee really easy. You need

Orange foam or construction paper (small triangle pieces cut.)

Google eyes

Pipe cleaner

Ribbon

Baby socks

Black market

Buttons and

Glue dots

We cut the tip off the sock and tied string near top and slipped over top to make hat. 

For things needed to be glued we stuck glue dots on so kids could just stick items on. So eyes, buttons and noses.

Pipe cleaner we just twisted around neck.

And we used black marker to make coal mouth
