There is a dress the bear on sparklebox that I use along with the calender. Have laminated the clothes and use bluetac to dress the bear every day according to the weather.

We are going to be doing some things about the weather this week and tie it in with springtime.

Hope you have fun with yours

We're doing spring - looking at how the garden has changed...

I've only got little ones, so we'll be doing things like making leaves for twigs, digging in the garden, seeing if our buds have survived the frost, going for a walk to spot daffodils, lots of daffodil crafts etc.

For music and movement, we're listening to and making spring music -

We're also doing Red Nose Day as we were too busy with Easter when it was the day!

Have fun!

Today we did some hand prints, tomorrow doing footprints, and making Mummy a birthday card from them ( flower petals ( hands) stem ( feet).

Also we played with a big tub of porridge and glitter, scooping it up, putting it into litte tubs, putting in a tray and "writing" in it etc etc

Might brave doing some biscuits with them later this week, and want to make some playdough as the stuff I have from tesco isn't very good.

I do a weather board each day with my children when we come back from a walk then we will do the dates, day and what was the weather like. I use to do this in my nursery, sometimes after the weather board we do dressing up in differnt clothes for each Season.

John.

Love the dress the pig on Sparklebox - my dining room has got animals around it so I am going to use this with my weather chart (if my printer ever decides to get going this morning!!!!!!!!) Thanks a lot for the links!
