Snowy Fun…But No Cold!

January 17, 2016 by lauraschachter@gmail.com 1 Comment

Winter weather is here. The little pond in our backyard is frozen over except for a tiny patch near the fountain. Not my favorite weather. My kids are wishing for a blanket of powdery snow. I love the beauty of wintry weather, but not the cold. That’s why we came up with a bunch of “snowy” fun to play inside.

You can check out our wintry fun over on Classroom Tested Resources. I have a snowy twist on “War”. Kids will practice greater and less skills with a “Snowball Fight”. Get the game free here.

DIY Sporty Holiday Ornaments + Giveaway

December 8, 2015 by lauraschachter@gmail.com Leave a Comment

Follow on Bloglovin

I blogged over at The Primary Pack today giving some simple ideas for memorable ornaments to make with your children.  I focused specifically on salt dough ornaments.

 I described my favorite salt dough ornament that reminds me of “The Kissing Hand”, by Audrey Penn. Head over to The Primary Pack to check out my post.

Now, I want to share the sporty ornaments that I made with my kids this year. 

Materials:
– Hot glue & glue gun
– Small bouncy balls (I got mine from Oriental Trading)
– Small Christmas hats (I got mine from Oriental Trading)
– Googly eyes
– Small piece of string/ribbon
– Small piece of white felt
This project is so simple!
– Just place a large dollop of hot glue onto the top of your ball and position the small hat on top of the glue.
–  Glue on the google eyes with hot glue.
– Glue the small string in a loop on the back of the ball. Cover the ends of string with the small piece of white felt. This will help anchor the string to the back of the ball.
– You have a sporty ornament!
Now, I want to share the fabulous giveaway that is happening today! Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Designs has put together a “twelve days of Christmas” giveaway! Every day for 12 days, you can enter to win a ton of fabulous prizes. Enter on the Rafflecopter link below.
