Olive, The Other Reindeer Dec 6-12

The kids loved our book selection this week, Olive, the Other Reindeer. Of course we did lots of reindeer crafts! This week we also attended a great puppet show at the library on Monday evening, attended our regular storytime at the library on Wednesday morning, and enjoyed our annual visit to the Hayride thru the Life of Christ.



The kids made reindeer out of red plastic cups.
I recently taught the kids how to play Uno. It is great color, number, and matching practice. When we finish Hannah likes to sort the cards by color. She loves sorting and matching anything these days!
I read a fun Rudolf poem. Throughout the poem Rudolf kept mixing up what color his nose was. The kids had to find the pom pom that matched the color of Rudolf's nose in each part of the poem.
Rudolf puppets with hand print antlers.
We began something new this week that I call Musical Monday. On Mondays I will play some music, get out the instruments, and let the kids just have a good time singing, dancing, and playing with the instruments. Week one was a success!


Hannah has been enjoying "reading" to me. She picks a book and makes up the story based on the pictures. I don't know where she got that accent from!? :)
