g is for gift

so thankful for the gifts that have been showing up at preschool this week.

i had the children help think of things they wished we had at preschool and we put the items that i think would be under $15 on post-it notes.  families are in no way obligated and i don’t talk to the children about it, it is simply an option for the adults.

more photos to come…thank you, families!

p is for (snowy) pinecone

i first saw this as a project to turn pinecones into little owls.  imagine these with owl eyes glued on.  cute.

in anticipation of christmas, we just made them as snowy pinecones.  using these from discount school supply, we poked cotton balls in. clearly a pencil would work too!   it was easiest if the cotton balls were pulled apart into tinier pieces.

oh, snowy pinecones, welcome to the season.
