~Happy Groundhog Day~
Happy Groundhog Day everyone! I know this post is a little late, but hopefully it will give you some craft ideas for next year :)
Groundhog Day was a 'balmy' 50 degrees, so we decided to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. It seemed like the groundhog's prediction was correct; this year he did not see his shadow!
((Today it seemed liked his prediction was wrong; it was a freezing cold realfeel of -35 degrees!!))
Little Lux loves going to a little loop that is just up our road. He runs around it with the boys.
When we got home we had some hot chocolate to warm up. Later we did some Groundhog Day activities.
We watched this cute Groundhog's Day video, which is filmed from the perspective of Punxsutawney Phil himself!
Next we did some coloring pages...
Next Tert and Filia did a color by number page. It involved addition and subtraction, so it was too challenging for Filia, but it was perfect for Tert. He worked with her on each of the colors and really enjoyed it!
Tert, Filia and Lux loved this Groundhog Day toilet paper roll craft. It was very simple, but a lot of fun! All you need for the craft is this template (I recommend printing it out on cardstock) as well as a glutestick and a toilet paper roll.
The last activity we did was a science experiment. First we talked about the scientific method. Then we used this activity page to record a hypothesis about why the groundhog sees his shadow. Then we turned the lights off and used a flashlight and our groundhogs to make some observations about shadows. Finally, we made a conclusion about the shadow experiments.
Happy Groundhog Day!
