The Mitten

Tonight we did family night around the book "The Mitten".

First we read the book. Clara chose not to participate in this part of family night. She was still a little cranky because of her teeth. Joshua and Hannah were on the couch with Jason (you can't see Hannah in the photo but she was there) and Joshua put cardboard animals in a mitten to correspond with what Jason was reading in the book.

Next we made tracks with a truck, similar to the way the animals made tracks in the book. To make our tracks snow-ish, we used shaving cream and white paint. This was also a sensory experience, which is especially great for Clara because she tends to shy away from anything gooey or squishy. We had a fun time together.
