We got a bit of snow last week. Almost up to Dad’s knees!

Helping Dad remove the hideous pink and blue flowered wallpaper!

rolling the winter clothing die and putting stickers on the chart is a favorite!

Alex really liked using Bananagrams to spell winter clothing words.

I tried to make it simple and lay out one card and the letters for that card.
He wanted all the cards and all the letters all out. I was super impressed.

To the right of our calendar is Alex’s theme board for the letter J.

He likes his Lauri ABC puzzles. He usually hammers in the letters.

Dad took Alex to the local nature center for a preschool winter class. They made snow paint with salt. They colored snowflake pictures.

And….
Oh my, just look at him in his little snowshoes!

Tonight before bed, Alex got so excited that it was essential oil time: “Ya gonna rub the oils on my foots?!” as I rubbed his “foots” with Thieves oil, he sighed like it was heaven: “Aaaaah!”
He is precious. and hilarious.
Those little snowshoes are cute!! and my lil’ guy gives me the “MOM! STOP with the pictures” look also ;-)
I wanted to comment on the Thieves oil..I’ve been putting it in the humidifier as well as spraying it around the room (house) a couple times a day….Have you had any issues with putting it on his feet? Do you put socks (and if yes does he actually leave them) on as well? Just curious we’ve had snotty noses and a cough around here for months! I want to kick it out!
always dilute Thieves oil with a carrier oil. I put it on all the kids’ feet at bedtime and my own and my husband’s. some wear socks and others not so much. We love it. It nips illness in the bud! I heard some ladies put it in their laundry and dishwasher and make cleansers and soaps out of it…it’s an anti-bacterial and anti-viral.
It looks like you had a great week! I love the variety of activities! Thanks for linking up with Montessori Monday. I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow
