Seasonal Fun!

Here's some fun seasonal stuff we've done in the fall and winter. Sensory and Science activities and just bringing Fall and Winter objects into the normal shelf work.

Pumpkin Carving:

Washing our pumpkin.

Taking out the insides. Sorting seeds so we could bake them.

We talked about how pumpkins grow and had a work on the shelf with cards showing the different stages from seed to pumpkin.  When we were done carving our Jack-o-Lantern the sequence cards and some dried seeds were kept on the little table with it.

We turned off the lights and let it glow after they watched me carve it.

For the design I printed off a few choices and we voted, they wanted the standard face.

Cornucopia:

Snow and Ice:

 We found a nice big sheet of ice that quickly became lots of pieces.

It's transparent, how cool!

We brought the snow inside when it was too cold to go out.

Holiday themed works:

Decorating the tree on our felt board.

Glueing ornaments on a tree.  This is a work that is regularly on the shelf, not a special project.

Decorating a tree.

 

Toy train (fine motor skills).  They're going to be sooo upset when this isn't there in January. \
