Snow flake collage

So yesterday after noon after nap and snack I just gave them a bunch of snow flakes, stickers and chalk to draw with .. Dark blue paper Let them create their winter scenes.

Snow flakes !

I just took a snow flake pattern and i had them cut blue paper and glue over the pattern . This is a great fine motor skill with the cutting and hand eye coordination . We cut them in a circle pattern and laid them on white paper .Then we took salt paint to make then sparkly . (little glue , salt and water ).

Happy Friday .
