Today we are sorting snowflakes (day 5 of our Activity Advent Calendar). All you need is this Snowflake Sort printable and then you can join in the fun. Sort by size (small, medium, and large) and by snowflake type.
Today we made handprint/footprint reindeer. Instead of using the paint like I originally planned, we traced and then decorated. I’m going to put their names and ages and laminate them. What a fun keepsake! Thank you to Activity Village where I originally found the Handprint/Footprint Reindeer idea!
We used these Alphabet Tree Mats from PreKinders for Day 1 of our Activity Advent Calendar. I added a sentence at the top of the 3 we worked on (J is for Jesus, C is for Christmas, and S is for Santa).
