Handprint mittens

Continuing with our hats and mittens week, we made these simple handprint mittens this morning. These would be a cute Christmas craft also.

I used the template provided and printed them out on some bright green paper. Each child did their handprint and I filled in their name. This would be cute if they were laminated as ornaments as well. I decided to put magnets on the back of ours, since our artwork display is very full and I'm having a hard time parting with some of my favorite snowman, penguin and other winter artwork.

Pom-Pom mittens

This morning we made mittens decorated with Pom-poms.

I used a folded piece of construction paper and traced one hand for each kid, so I would have two mittens when I cut them out. Card stock would be sturdier, but I don't have any. 

Each kid picked out their own color mittens, and what color(s) Pom-poms they used. I put glue in a cupcake liner for easy dipping. 

When the mittens were done we used a paper punch and yarn to string them together. 

Sort by color worksheet

We did another worksheet from that great Winter Worksheet pack from Totschooling today.

This one was a sort by color worksheet featuring hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, etc.

It appears some of the yellow pictures printed orange though, which was initially confusing for the kids, but they finished these very quickly.
