I'm a blog-a-holic lately, aren't I? We've just been up to so much fun stuff lately I want to document it all. Today Johanna and I worked on an art project, a Christmas tree felt board. Yes, pinterest inspired. Talk about a cheap project! So we had the plywood left over from something else and the brown and green felt were from halloween costume leftovers. But the rest of the felt was all purchased for 3 dollars and with tons to spare. Hobby lobby, greatest store ever!
I love this project because it incorporates so many different teaching opportunities. We've got shape recognition (rectangles, squares, triangles, stars and circles) color finding, pattern matching and a couple alphabet letters too.
It was a lot of fun watching her pick up on it so quickly then try it on her own.
Yes, she had to pile everything into one spot. I was a good Mom though and only told her once the presents go on the bottom then stuck with wow, it looks great! hehe
She was so proud of her creation.
And the best part of this project is she can do it all over again and again!
I heard some rustling later on and low and behold I caught Ernie getting into some mischief...
He flipped the tree upside down and was sneaking off with a nighttime snack.
...Pretty sure this shelf elf idea was created more for dorky people's entertainment setting them up like myself rather than the actual kids finding them, haha!
wow-super idea- looks like a great indoor project for cold winter days & nites :)
