Oh winter….. we are ready for you to be OVER! All of us have
been going a little stir crazy with these cold days! My boys love to get
outside to run, and we haven’t been able to with the freezing temperatures. My
boys are WILD, so I had to think of something fun to get their wiggles out. We
were just reading the book, A Loud Winter’s Nap. So adorable! My son’s favorite
part was when the turtle was sledding down the hill, slipped on the ice, and slid down to the ice skating
rink with his friends. This book inspired us to create an indoor ice skating rink to play
on.
Super easy! I just rolled out our craft paper, and then cut
wax paper to put under his feet. It does get slippery, so watch out if your
little one isn’t super coordinated! I placed a stack of sight word snowflakes
down at one end. Hayden skated back and forth, reading and gathering sight
word cards.
If you need something to keep your little ones busy on
these cold days, give this a try! I wanted to share our sight word snowflakes
as a free download, and I also included a set of alphabet snowflakes if your
child is working on their letters! I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
