Winter Break Activities

Here is Tommy with his contacts in. I am hoping these contacts stay in his eyes for a while this time. Sometimes he gets them out rather quickly, but I am hoping that he will do better with them now that he is a bit older. He is more busy these days and doesn't rub his eyes as much as he used to.



The face of mischief!
This is Tom's last week of school before a long winter break. I am going to have to think long and hard about creating a list of activities for him. This boy is used to playing with a pack of little ones now, as well as crafts and classes. Any ideas?

Winter Break Activities

  • Cookie baking
  • Making scented play dough (peppermint)
  • Making cinnamon/applesauce ornaments
  • Playing in the snow (if we ever get any!)
  • Making hot chocolate with marshallows. Tom loves marshmallows
  • Making a christmas shirt - stamping or other ideas
  • Working on the Christmas/Santa concept - I'm trying hard to make this holiday real for him. Maybe we could put out carrots for the reindeer?
  • Visiting Santa at the mall
  • Go to hear Christmas music
  • Donate some of his old toys and talk about the important of giving and sharing.

  1. Gingerbread house can build great concepts because it's 3D. Wrapping presents is challenging/fun and presents many wonderful learning opportunities. Maybe Tom can help you label all of the presents with Braille tags so that he can be santa's elf and hand out the presents when it's time.

    1. Good idea! Maybe I can buy a little gingerbread house kit so we can give it a try.

      We always do braille labels for gifts and I hand them out to the grandparents too. I am working on a post about present wrapping that will be up very soon.

      It is a great year to be an elf!
