Poppins Book Nook: Weather and giveaway!!

Welcome back to another month of Poppins Book Nook!!  

This month was weather.  We chose the book Maisy's Wonderful Weather Book by Lucy Cousins.

For our activity, I had him do a quilt weather art project.  I pulled out our Draw! Write! Now!  book and picked out a picture.  I had him draw it once.  Then I made copies of it on the copier.

I then had him color each one with 4 different weather scenes.  He did snowy, stormy, sunny, and rainbow.

Then we arranged them on a bigger piece of paper and cut strips of construction paper to serve as out border for the quilt.

Make sure to check out these other fine blogs and see what they have been up to this month!
