THE TRAVELING SNOWMAN

London brought home this assignment right before Christmas break And i totally forgot about it until 2 days before it was due when she mentioned that other kids brought a decorated snowman to school.  OOPS!!  So in a last minute effort we decorated her traveling snowman.

The directions were to use the white paper provided(she had to cut out the circles), glue it to the blue paper  that was provided and use household items to decorate your snowman for a trip.

She wanted her snowman to be going to the ranch.  I cut up an old camo t-shirt and made him a hat scarf and mittens and London collected bark, ,stick arms, leaves, and berries to add.  See the berry smile and bark buttons.  She used real buttons for the eyes and cut orange paper for the carrot nose.   I helped her make a fire and she added the straw and marshmallows.  The green ric rac and red cupcake holder were her own personal touch.  AND, if you look closely you will see a red leaf on the hat and a flower made of berries in the middle of the wrapper....another personal touch of London's.  Doesn't he look great!!  And of course he is making smores because that is London's favorite thing to do at the ranch.


At school they were going to share where their snowman was going and write about them in their journal.  


Off to school with the traveling snowman!!  
HAPPY FRIDAY!
