Book-n-Craft Advent Activities December 20th

Another Jan Brett favorite, The Hat is our 20th book. I could have probably used many of her books for this Advent but I had to limit myself. In The Hat, Hedgie gets his head stuck in a sock and the other animals laugh at him. But later, the animals think Hedgie had a good idea and they themselves try on winter clothes! J started by making a hedgehog ornament for the tree. We used foam and she chose the colors - blue, pink, and purple.

J cut yarn "spikes" for her blue hedgehog.

Can you tell she is pleased? I then brought out Holiday Bingo to play. We had one of my English students here, so J played with her. We took turns being the bingo caller and the players.

We are all most there - it is all most Christmas. J had a special treat from Santa this week. She recieved an email/video from Santa. This was truly unique and it had J's pictures in it. J loved it (thanks Grandma, it was great). We have watched it several times and it reminds her to be nice to her brother. She was really excited about receiving a special e-mail from Santa! Wow. Only four more to go......
