Instagram post 2197325730144570548_8736387314 This is our fourth December in the Midwest, and we have a shocking lack of snow on the ground. ❄️ . I whipped up a batch of plain white playdough so we can make little snowmen. We can also talk about spheres, count beads, and work those little fingers.
Instagram post 2196604514218600421_8736387314 Are you wondering how to keep your little ones busy over the holiday break? Or maybe you're ready to start preschool at home in January? .

Instagram post 2195907297002642674_8736387314 Do your kids love playdough like mine do? . Their favorite thing to do is open a bakery and make treats with their cookie cutters and beads. 😍 . This activity can keep them occupied for well over an hour, especially when they pull out their cash register/calculator and start taking orders.
Instagram post 2195411180515027523_8736387314 Are your children fascinated by the idea of keeping a tree INSIDE the house during the month of December? Several years ago, I remember my 15-month-old frantically signing TREE every time we passed a Christmas tree — whether we were at our house, someone else’s, church, or the shopping mall. It’s kind of a strange concept for our toddlers and preschoolers to understand. . First, we put a tree in the living room, then decorate it with lights and pretty objects. Then, we tell our young children to stay away and not touch it. 😂 . Now that our girls are a bit older, they understand that I need them to ask before touching anything on or near our tree. (Several of our ornaments have buttons for music or lines from favorite movies.) I just don’t want the tree coming down on top of them or one of our more fragile ornaments being broken accidentally. . I often find them sitting next to the Christmas tree or lying underneath it with a book. So I got up early this morning, and tucked a few library books about Christmas trees under our tree. For some reason, my girls are drawn to small piles of books here and there around the house. .

Instagram post 2191635533720237595_8736387314 Frindle was only a few years old when I became a teacher. My students LOVED Nick and his hijinks, and so I faithfully added every new Andrew Clements book to my classroom library as they were published. . 22 years later, we have all of his books in our family library. And so, I was heartbroken when I had to break the news to my girls that Mr. Clements had passed away over the holiday weekend. 😢 . There were tears and questions, and a request to reread Frindle as our next family read-aloud. ❤️ . Thank you, Mr. Clements for two decades of fun and heartwarming stories. We will keep your legacy alive!
