January is also a fun time to do all sorts of mitten crafts and activities. We will be spending a whole week having fun with Jan Brett's "The Mitten" for kindergarten as well. (Just google Jan Brett The Mitten and see all the fabulous links that will take you and your kids to amazing realms of learning and activities!)
I saw this cute idea over at Clover Lane and decided that my Christmas-decor-put-away house needed some smallish winter decor as well. My mittens aren't as cute as hers because I put my little kiddos to work making them, and they learned some good button sewing and stitching skills too. I think they turned out adorably. Today we got much more snow, and the view from my mitten window was darling (not so darling when I had to sport my mittens and SHOVEL it all). I was trying for all shades of blue for our little felt mittens, but The Toddler insisted on making a green one. And I've learned to pick my battles.
Memory lane found these sweet posts about mittens from winters passed:
