We're still taking a break from our Alphabet Themes to do some theme weeks. This week we did a winter theme. Now, I will say that Archer is definitely his own person and I do not force him into activities. Frustratingly, there were many activities with which I presented him that he did not feel like doing. Therefore, our activities feel a little more abbreviated than what I had planned.
As always, the shelf by his desk had some books for the week and I hung his artwork above. He has been very closed to reading "new" books, so we only read The Little Snowplow, Just a Snowman and Snowball Soup. Hoping to read some of the other great books next year!
I made a sensory bin with epsom salt, acrylic snowflakes and the penguins Toob.
I also got a big bin of snow from outside for him. I gave him cups of liquid water colors and some twisty droppers. He mostly preferred dumping water between all the cups. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGlSLdRjWyzoCSrydN3Oav-OnbggGkuGflNRXnS767HEBC9s4LBY4LNJA8DoPl8Ev66FBPOHuRr0YlB4FTuRqhOdSHeTZqMMJnD9BKgo2pOHZYfzSl-S4o_5Y1taUQgJOPwqp3Tq91fNmW/s320/PXL_20201208_170823012.jpg)

Playing Little Cooperation and getting the animals safely to the igloo. I think this is currently his favorite board game.
Button art tray. He will do a couple of pages, but then looses interest. I think it might be too easy for him.
Snowflake and snowman stickers.
"Snow" painting. I gave him white and silver glitter paint, a cotton ball on a clothes pin, a q-tip and a porcupine ring. For a kid who dislikes arts and crafts, he lasted longer than I thought he would!
We did play dough a couple of different ways. I had one tray with glass gems and snowflake cookie cutters. A different day I got his shape stamps.
I got out several winter sentence cards I had made back when my oldest was a toddler. He had to put the words in order to make a sentence. This was the first time I showed Archer this kind of activity and he really liked it.
Failed snowplow tray. Archer was very very offended I used his diggers in this way and immediately took them out of the tray and put them back with his other vehicles.
Drawing a number and then putting that many beads onto a pipe cleaner. He did well but lost interest after about 3 numbers.
Winter 12 piece puzzle (he does these on his own now).
To go with his Dimensions Math, we did a Rough and Smooth sort.
Playing with his place value blocks.
Magna-Qubix were big this week. He played for hours!
