My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:
The first day of winter was last month, but I was all caught up in Christmas when winter started and I hadn't discovered this book. The First Day of Winter by Denise Fleming is a wonderful book with text based on the twelve days of Christmas. Each day a snowman is given something new to decorate him.
The snowman gets a red hat with a gold button on down to ten peanuts for toes. He is very dapper and well decorated by the time the book is done. The repetitive nature of the text made it easy for JDaniel to jump in and recite the text as I read it. It was fun to sing along with too.
Retelling the Story
We had a great time retelling the story as we assembled all the snowman decorations. The crayons represent things we drew on the snow man using that color.
Craft
We assembled the snowman. Our snowman had some bits and pieces in different locations than the one in the book.
Creative Play
This was the only snowplow my street saw during the snowstorm.
JDaniel makes a fine snowman.

ReplyDeleteJDaniel did a great job on the snowman! With all the snow we have outside, I should do some of these activities w/ my little girls. :) Sharing your post on Twitter and FB.
ReplyDeleteI'm here from Momloop. Such a great idea! I love the snowmen, and your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love Denise Fleming books. I haven't seen that one in particular but it looks like something we would enjoy reading. I love the craft you did along with it as well! Riding that trike in the snow was probably a good workout for him! I bet he was tired and ready for a nap after that.
ReplyDeletelovely snow images.
ReplyDeletebeautiful crafts.
Thanks for sharing.
Well at least you had a cute snowplowman! I made that word up!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look into that book.
ReplyDeleteWe also did snowman this week. I actually have four books we were reading.
Wanted to thank you for the Peek a Book I won, I received it so quickly. The girls really enjoy it and I think it is so cute.
This sounds like so much fun...what a great snowman activity!
ReplyDeleteFantastic - this reminds me a lot of the 4 in a row homeschool curriculum. What a great way to get the most (and more) out of a book!
