Oh Christmas Tree

When we opened our  advent activity bag today the note said ” Make Christmas playdoh. ”

So we did.

Here is the recipe if you want to make it at home. It is my favorite recipe.  It is from Nurturecreek.com  !

Each child is taking home a little in a baggie today. You . Are. Welcome. 🙂

We also made another ornament.  ( These homemade keepsakes will be sent home Friday so you can put them on your own tree ! )

We read a story called ” The New and Improved Santa.”  It was a really funny book that talked about how Santa went on a diet and changed his hair to red with spikes and wore new cool clothes and said things like ” Yo” instead of  ” Ho Ho Ho.”  The kids really got into the story. I love when reading a story and a  new word comes up that makes the kids question what it means. Today that was murmur.   After reading the word I heard several of the kids saying it under their breath.  ( It is a little fun word to say!) So we talked about what murmur means and practicing murmuring.
