I wanted to take the time to wish you all a very happy holiday season!! It has been wonderful being able to spend time with all five of my children and have a little down time to relax.

I hope you are able to slow down a bit as well and take a look at all that surrounds you. Each day holds new adventures and chances to begin again ... seize those opportunities for they are there for you!!

Gingerbread Pom Pom Match Fine Motor Skills and Color Recognition Activity for Preschool and Kindergarten

We did a gingerbread pom pom color match today that the children really enjoyed. It was a great activity for fine motor ... color recognition ... and math. I printed the gingerbread patterns on cardstock paper and laminated them. I then put a self-adhesive magnet on the bottom of each pom pom and put them into a bowl.

Children picked up the pom poms and placed them on the gingerbread with the same colors. As a math extension we counted how many pom poms were on each gingerbread.
