Pinterest Made Me Do It!

So, I saw on Pinterest that you can make Christmas decorations using two ingredients: Apple sauce and cinnamon. So we had to give it a try. 

Here we are taking turns stirring the "dough"...everyone who wanted a turn took a turn.

Later in the day, we rolled out the dough and cut shapes with cookie cutters. I couldn't take photos because my hands were too cinnamony.

For our alphabet stations today, we did some old activities and some new ones.

Here we are matching lower case letters to capital letters and naming the letters as we worked. (This activity should look very familiar to one of our moms because she made it! Thanks!)

Here we are matching letters to the picture that begins with that letter to put the puzzle together. We also tried to remember to name all the letters. One group finished quickly and then decided to put the puzzle in ABC order...wow!

Naming letters and putting them in ABC order.

Practicing our printing. Kids were asked to print their names with a capital letter followed by lower case letters. Or, they could have chosen to work in printing a variety of lines and circles to prepare for printing. Some did a combination of both. I've blurred out the name printing in the interest of online safety. Believe me, the printing was pretty spectacular!

Wow, we were hard at work today!
