Kidmade Magnetic Nativity Scene

 

Homemade Magnetic Nativity Scene

 

Little Sweets loves to draw.  This past week she decided to draw a Nativity Scene. ( She is five and draws better than me.)  I thought it would be fun to turn her drawings into magnets so that she and hers sister could play with the pictures.  It turned out to be a huge success the girls love the magnets. 

 

Here is how I made the magnets.

                           1.  I copied her pictures on the copy machine.  I made several copies so we would

                                have extra if we lost a piece.  I also didn't want to ruin the originals.

                           2.  Laminate the pictures.

                           3.  Cut them out

                           4.  Place sticky magnets on the back

                           5.  Have fun playing with the magnets.

Please note magnets are dangerous if ingested.  Keep them out of reach of small children that still place things in their mouths.

 Fun Preschool Activities with Mini Ornaments

 

I picked up these mini ornaments in the dollar section at Target.  

 

Counting

 

Little Peanut picked a number card, identified the number,

and used tongs to place the correct number of ornaments on the tree.

Little Peanut loved using the tongs.  She picked up the ornaments with the tongs

and placed them in an ice cube tray.

Little Peanut sorted the ornaments by color.
