Snow Day Fun!

Like many of you, today was a snow day!  I enjoy these days as I just get to be a mom!  My two little boys are full of energy and keep things active at home.  They are ages 5 and 3 (soon to be).  Today, I decided it was a good day to try some Snow Ice Cream!  Below is the recipe and some pictures of our adventure.  It was really tasty and fun to make!

Snow Ice Cream:
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
*Mix together in a bowl
Add:  4 cups fresh clean snow

We added strawberries for more flavor!
This is the finished product!  I think our next variety will be using chocolate milk and adding peanuts and minimarshmallows for a Rocky Road ice cream from show!

The boys also had fun making a Purdy puppet.  This is a penguin paper bag puppet that I put together to compliment a series of mini books I created and have for sale on my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
Below are some pictures of the bag puppets.  They really turned out cute!

I have created 3 stories about Purdy the Penguin so far with more stories coming!  They are Happy New Year, Purdy!, Purdy's Valentine, and Purdy Goes to the Winter Games.  All of these sets contain a bag puppet pattern, mini book/story to print and color, comprehension pages at two levels, grammar/phonics practice, color word page, and game.
