A Chubby Little Snowman

Minne-Mama is on Facebook! 'Like' us to stay updated on our fun crafts and activities! Thank you for stopping by! It is no secret that Skyler LOVES his ECFE class! I have posted pictures and another craft inspired by the wonderful program we are in. This week we had a pajama day, and Skyler was so thrilled to be in class he could hardly decide what he wanted to do - so much to choose from! He ended up going down the slide a lot, putting "Pom poms!!!" in a muffin tin and through paper towel rolls, and trying out the easel for the first time! They also had play dough with rolling pins and chalk/construction paper to experiment with. It is a favorite time of the week for both of us! We start the class with thirty minutes of play time/parent interaction and then do a fifteen minute circle time with songs and rhymes before we leave the room for the separation and parent education half of the class! This activity is based on a rhyme we have done in circle time the past fe...

Big Red Barn Play

Minne-Mama is on Facebook! 'Like' us to stay updated on our fun crafts and activities!   Thank you for stopping by! I got Skyler some animal figurines for his Easter basket. He is getting to an age where I think he will love small world play, and I was so excited when I found the Toob Farm animal set at Michael's! Skyler loves the book Big Red Barn by Margaret Wise Brown and this fun sensory activity was a great way to provide Skyler with a hands on activity based on the book he enjoys so much! I spread our green St. Paddy's Day Dough on half of a cookie sheet, and filled the other half with coffee grounds to make grass and mud, and then all I needed was our big red barn. I looked for images of a barn, and loved this one from Learn Create Love . I didn't use the printable, I just looked at the image and drew it, but the printable is a great option! I stuck the barn in our play dough "grass" and added some farm animals. It was a perfect morning to play w...

What We Do All Day

Minne-Mama is on Facebook! 'Like' us to stay updated on our fun crafts and activities! Thank you for stopping by! "What do you do all day?" I get that question a lot when I tell people I am a full time mama. On a typical day we will spend some of our time out and about at classes or activities, running errands, or at play dates. Skyler usually wakes up around 7:00, we get ready and typically eat breakfast at home. In the morning is when we do most of our activities out of the house, but we always come home to read books and for a nap. While Skyler naps, I will prepare activities, get dinner started, clean, do laundry, and read some blogs or watch an episode of a TV show online if I have time! When he gets up from a 2-3 hour nap is usually when we do activities at home, but sometimes we will run errands or go to a class. We start getting him ready for bed around 6:30 after dinner, we will do a bath and books and he will be in bed by 7:00. Days as a full time mama are f...
