Watercolor snow scenes with sprinkles of salt for ice


I don't do any instruction in the Tinkerlab...I just provide the materials & they create! It's amazing. We are taking it up a notch next year by adding old appliances for them to take apart & put back together as they choose! We'll also have an expanded art area!

We made snow ice cream - so easy & delish



Simeon wanted a bear to look into the window of his winter scene!

Below freezing temps means plenty of ice to experiment with - even paint!

Everyone was prepared for outdoor play in the snow today, & their mittens came in handy while playing with ice!


Ellie & Ezra were pals today

I love the multi-age grouping...some children get to practice being big sisters/brothers & others get to borrow big brothers & sisters! The older ones are such a wonderful help :0)

Our sledding hill is perfect for the littles....

And a gentle challenge for the older ones who want to ski!!!  I love winter as long as we have enough snow to play in - and these guys didn't once complain of being cold.  As the northmen say: There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!


Priscilla loved trying to break the little toys out of the ice!
We ended up meeting every day in December!  I'm so thankful to spend time with each of these precious ones - now it's off to some warmer weather! See you all in February!
