Snowflakes

This week was all about snowflakes.  We had fun investigating them.  We learned a lot mostly from a book called Snowflake Bentley.  Willie Bentley was a man who really knew his snowflakes!


On baking/cooking day we made snow ice cream.

Yes, we used real snow.

I didn't want them to eat too much... so we also made
snowflake cookies.

Painting day was devoted to snow pictures.

We used white paint, glitter and chalk to make the wintry scenes.



For snack, snowflake soft pretzles.

We spent our days looking for snowflakes, but we only found...


mountains to sled down

and snow caves to hide in.

Here are some of our favorite snow stories.  Snowmen at night is very sweet with hidden pictures.  We've been searching it all week.




  We spent a  big day skating with our Uncle this week too.  It has been a fun week, though short.  I am going on a vacation weekend!  I have not left my kiddos for 5 years!  Very exciting.

Have a good week everyone!

Next week it is about
Ice.
Until then...
~Blessings.
