Weekly Curriculum

Materials Needed for the week:
Q Tips, Glue, Scissors, Construction paper, Paper Plates, White Paint, Wax paper, Uncooked Macaroni Wheels, Cotton Balls, Rice, Green Food Coloring, Ziplock baggies
  
Monday: Q Tip Snowflakes
Tuesday: Paper plate Snowman
Wednesday: Footprint Penguin
Thursday: Snowman Stamping
Friday: Touch & Feel Winter Scene

Monday:
We made snowflakes out of Q-Tips and glue.  Nico helped me cut the Q-Tips into pieces, and then we glued them down.
 Sorry he has not pants...we are working on potty training, and he has to get to the bathroom fast sometimes!
 Nico had other ideas about where the Q-Tip should go.
 In the end, he only glued two Q-Tips down.  He didn't really like getting glue on his hands.

Tuesday:
We made paper plate snowmen using what we had around the house.
 Mine
  Nico's.

Wednesday:
 
We made a footprint penguin today.  First we traced Nico's foot and cut it out three times (2 black and 1 white).  We cut them out (hand over hand) then we glued them to construction paper.  We glued on on googley eyes.  Nico is pretty good about not using too much glue, so I let him be in charge of the glue bottle.  Then we used marker to draw on a nose and feet.  Lastly, Nico painted the "snow" all by himself using glitter paint and a sponge paintbrush.  

Thursday:
 On Thursday, we did snowman stamping with an old toilet paper roll.  Basically we just stamped circles on construction paper with paint.
When we were done, Nico wanted a paintbrush, so I let him paint for awhile.  Before we could finish the project, we had to let it dry.

Friday:
  On Friday we were busy so we skipped the Touch & Feel Winter scene and finished our snowman stamping instead.  We used crayons to add detail to the snowman.  Nico only wanted to use blue, which didn't work so well on blue paper, but he is the artist, so I left it up to him.  We'll try to get to the Touch & Feel Winter Scene next week, because it looks fun.  (By the way, we did the letter "O" with the snowman stamping since it seemed to go so well together!)
