So I searched for something that we could do for christmas and didn't really find anything that I liked or that the kids liked. So I came up with my own little finger puppet rhyme and found a great tutorial on making finger puppets here.
Here is the poem
One little reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh
Oh no who will help me today
Two little reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh
Oh no who will help us today
Three little reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh
Oh no who will help them today
Four little reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh
Oh no who will help them today
Five little reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh
All the way to christmas day
It's simple and silly and they love it!
The have also taken this poem and started walking around the room holding each other's shoulders like a conga line pretending to pull Santa's sleigh.
Today we made our christmas wreaths and the boys amazed me. We have only been using glue for a short time and at first it was all they could do to not squeeze the whole bottle out at once but now that are actually crafting with purpose and using the glue to help them create. We started this craft with just the paper wreath and yarn that the boys wrapped around and around and then the glued on all their decorations. This time last year I was still pulling crayon's out of their mouths and now they are little artist.
Whenever we finish a craft they hold up their work and I say lets all clap for (the persons name) then we all clap for each other's work but today half of the work fell on the floor so we skipped the clapping till after nap!
