December Activities

Christmas theme bracelets from Oriental Trading Company foam beads and bells. Big holes make stringing them easy.

Justin hard at work creating the perfect bracelet.

We used scraps of green paper to make the tree and then glued foam beads on for decoration.

We read multiple versions of the story of "The Gingerbread Man" and talked about how they are similar and how they differ.  We enjoyed some of the more unique versions such as "Gingerbread Cowboy."

Working on our gingerbread.  I noticed that most of the frosting and toppings seemed to be eaten and the gingerbread looked a bit bare.



See how pathetic the poor gingerbread men turned out.



We went to a friend's birthday party and the theme was Elmo.  These were the party hats.  Aren't they adorable?  So simple too!

   

Pin (okay, tape) the mustache on the Justin. :)



 

Justin celebrated his fifth birthday.



Ryan celebrated his third birthday.



Ryan wanted a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom theme.  These party hats were a bit much, but probably fun for a kindergarten class to make.

 



Justin wanted to make his own kind of reindeer without using my pattern.  I think it is adrorable.



Ryan followed my sample and made a reindeer puppet.
