Snow Ice Cream
Snow ice cream? Why Not? They eat it anyways. Actually I didn’t want them to eat it out of my yard (we have a dog) so I just made some quick in the blender.
Here is what we used:
10 cups snow or (blended ice cubes)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
and sprinkles
If you have not read this yet, you should. You only need sugar and food coloring.
Make Your Own Sprinkles
Sensory Foam
Big kids are home from school today so we needed something to keep them busy. This looks like a mess but it is just soap. If you have dish soap you can make this.
Here is what you need:
4 Tablespoons dish soap
1/2 Cup water
Washable paint to color
Put in in the mixer and let it fill the bowl!
Cereal Box Star Ornaments
It is our daycare tradition to make a star ornament each year. This was the one from last year. We just pulled out tonight and put it on our tree ♡
Here is what we used:
A cereal box
Scissors
Glue
Ribbon
First we cut out two squares from the cereal box and followed the folding directions here twice.
Then glued the two stars together.
We took them outside and spay painted sliver.
Once dry we added the ribbon
*** I did let the kids color them with markers but the marker was all faded off when we opened this year.
Milk Bottle Christmas Tree Ornament
Here is one of many Christmas crafts we have planned. They turned out so cute we had to share this idea early.
Here is what we used:
Plastic Milk Bottle
Cookie cutter
Scissors
Pictures printed on computer paper
Glue
Modge podge ( you can make your own one part white glue two parts warm water, mix)
Paint Brush
Hole puncher
String or Twine
First I cut open a clean gallon size milk bottle. Cut out the two flat sides. I got two stars out of each bottle.
We took the flat plastic pieces and traced a star cookie cutter and cut the star out.
I borrowed the pictures from their parents facebook pages. I just opened up the pictures and hit print. Then placed the plastic star over their faces, traced it, and cut it out.
Next I used a paint brush to modge podge the plastic star, placed photo star on top and modge podge over the top of it.
The kids used glue bottles and put a little glue on each corner. Then added glitter.
I punched a hole on the top of each and added a string.
