Boy, just realized how long it has been since I lasted posted. So busy here with back to school and sports that I can not seem to keep up with blogging which I sorely miss. Partially because it forces me to "lesson plan" for some family activities and partially because I just enjoy sharing fun activities that work in our house. Here is one that worked for us - sticky Christmas tree. First use some permanent marker and draw a Christmas tree on the non sticky side of contact paper. Then hang the contact paper sticky side up on the wall. Give your little one some foam shapes or pom poms and start decorating. The great thing about this activity is that it can used over and over again quite a few times before the stickiness comes off. Super simple and entertaining for the 2+ year old crowd!
