This past week was busy with wedding fun (more on that in a later post), so it has been nice to have the book advent to remind us to take time to have some fun.
This book as letters you can pull out and read. (Although, since it was from the library a couple of them were missing, we had to re-create)
We practiced letter writing to write letters to each other
And got out the mailboxes to practice reading (or recognizing the names) and delivering the mail
Our version from the library had a cd included and about 10 pages of activities to do. We had lots of fun with that.
One activity we did was making our own glitter ornaments. I had the kids practice tracing the cookie cutters (I had to help with this).
We then covered them in glitter.
We also had a snowball fight (using crumpled paper balls)
We used some activity pages made by Homeschool Creations for this book

The kids really enjoyed doing some actual 'school' stuff. Apparently we're doing too much play and the keep asking what we are going to learn about.
And, my kids always like their muffins decorated.
