Jack Frost!

Little Boats has really been into the movies Rise of the Guardians and Frozen.  So this morning after watching Rise yet again he told me he wanted to be Jack Frost.  So with some acrylic paint and old blue hoodie, I created him Jacks sweatshirt.

I know the acrylic paint won't hold up, but it worked for a fast fun dress up morning.

But what is Jack Frost without some snow!!!

Luckily Little Boats' Grandparents sent a bag of fake snow with his Christmas presents.  So with that and some blue sparkles we had ourselves a magical snowy morning!

Infusing it with a little magic!

And of course then it was time for clean up! 

It's been a few hours and he is still wearing the hoodie and responding to Jack, so fist pump for success! 

This is the amazon link for The Guardians books (Rise of the Guardians is based on these books)  The Fort Crew has been reading them at night for a few months now.  Big Boats might like them more than anyone else!!

Shadow "Puppets"

Recently Little Boats has started to notice and become interested in shadows.  So I decided to start this blog off with our most recent activity…Shadow "Puppets".

We used foam sheets (already had due to our life size board game),
Duct Tape, stir sticks that I pocketed at a recent trip to the zoo, and animal shaped cookie cutters.

Step 1: Trace animal shapes onto the foam 

Step 2: Cut the shapes out, attach sticks to shapes with duct tape

Step 3: PLAY PLAY PLAY!!!  We couldn't wait until bedtime to try 

these guys out so we took to the windowless bathroom for a test run. Our story 

is a fish,snake and octopus playing soccer.

Update!

Big Boats is back from duty and he's loving the puppets too!!!
