Hot Cocoa day

I introduced a song called "Hot cocoa" found over at Teach preschool blog . We used real marshmallow for visual aid.

we ripped brown paper ,color our mugs and added cotton balls as marshmallow . (could use real marshmallow but they didnot want to ? )

we then had hot cocoa,cocoa goldfish with mini marshmallows and marshmallow for snack .

We added mugs ,cotton balls, empty cocoa boxes empty cocoa packets i printed this and lameated them and spoons to play kitchen area . (i was served hot cocoa all day )ok i toss my cocoa box out this week end so i have to make my own and made my own packets .

We also took a mug cut out and did some math with marshmallow (i love food math )

So i hold up an number and they add that many marshmallow to the mug . Then they get to eat the marshmallows when we where all done yummy!

We read if you give a mouse a cookie to finish out day .

I did not do this but chocolate scented play dough... would be a fun idea to .

Snow Tracks Who's prints are they ..

As we are finish Arctic animals and snow .. We go on a search for snow prints and try to guess who print are they . Here some prints we seen out today .. Then i take pictures as the children love to look at them and talk about all they seen . Then we took white play dough (snow and made our own tracks ... ) guess what they are ?

Snowflakes winter painting

So i just wanted share a few items i found this month ..

first i picked up these snowflakes at target after Christmas 1.00 for 4 at 75% off so like .25 for a 4 pk . don't they look great .

Then i keep seeing my family eat this micro soup and it has these holes on the top . and look what they make . cut snow pattern .

Then i got some bubble wrap at Christmas time and i cut into a snowman shape (i think needs eyes to help it's look ) but the kids will have a ball painting it anyway .

Oh i just had to show the cute widow cling i pick up at target .25 each to intro the snowman and flakes .
