Book-n-Craft Advent Activities December 13th

The Christmas Story with Ruth J. Morehead's Holly Babes (Pictureback(R))

Our 13th book is The Christmas Story by Ruth J. Morehead. I have always loved the little Holly Babes. The pictures in this book are just cute. We read the story and made a book with an angel puppet.


The angel puppet is attached to a piece of string and it can interact with the book.
 

Here the angel is next to the manger. Cute story and it can be found here.


We made a posicle stick star for the tree. This was alittle difficult since the sticks did not want to stay glued together. J then sprinkled every last bit of the silver glitter onto it.
 

The game of the day comes from the printable game pack by Walking by the Way. It is Clear the Board. Again, this game is supposed to be played with M&M's and then they are eaten when taken off. But we used all of our little candies decorating the cookies. So we used buttons- not as much fun but effective. This is helping her math skills, recognizing the dots on the dice as numbers and addition skills.


She is asking again for Don't Eat Pete, so we will play this today. We are enjoying our Christmas Advent activities. We are off to another adventure....
