Liam's PreK Christmas Party

I offered to help come up with the activities and games for Liam's Christmas party.  Lilly and I joined Liam for his pajama Christmas party.  We started the morning with story time.  I read Little Star by Anthony DeStafano.  It is about the star of Bethlehem.  Then, the kids had to find baby Jesus hidden in the classroom.  Once he was found, we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus.  After story time we did our art project, which were paper stockings.  They turned out really well. 

After our art project we had Christmas themed centers.  The groups of students switched centers every 5 minutes.  The centers included - play dough with Christmas cookie cutters, fishing with candy canes for ornaments, pin the nose on Olaf, dress up "photo booth" (Christmas dress-up clothes & pictures taken on the iPad), and ball toss.

After centers, the kids watched The Polar Express and had a snack and hot chocolate.

Liam was so excited to have Mom and Lilly with him for the day.  He looked out for Lilly and made sure she knew where to go and what to do.  Lilly enjoyed her day at Preschool too.  What a great way to kick-off Christmas break!
