With just a few hours to spare, my boys and I completed our annual New Years projects:
This is our 3rd year completing these projects!
It is AMAZING to me to see the difference in their writing, prints and size in those 3 short years!
They keep these posters in their room all year- and then I take the old one down and replace it with the new one and add the old one to their 'memory boxes' that I have in our basement.
If you'd like to make them, you can find the labels here:
As you will read in the 'how to' post, you don't need to print them on labels. They can be printed on paper and cut/glued. I personally find peeling/sticking to be easier!

**********************
We'll be spending a quiet evening at home celebrating the New Year as a family this year. My husband is on standby for his job so he can't go far from home and has to be ready as soon as a call comes in.
So to make it a bit more special, we made this 'New Years Slime' to play with as we wait for the ball to drop!
I found the recipe via this pin:
It was called 'winter slime'- and she has recipes for all different types of slime too- but we added extra glitter and glitz to call it 'New Years Slime!'
So we collected all of our supplies:
Clear glue (Michaels), Liquid Starch (Grocery Store), Water, Glitter, Sequins & Confetti (Michaels).
Some of the confetti was even 70% off as it was with the Christmas products!
The recipe calls for 1/2c. glue mixed with 1/2c. water.
Stir it really well.
Add glitter, sequins, confetti, etc. You can add food coloring too, but we had so much glitter we didn't need any coloring!
In another bowl measure 1/2c. liquid starch.
SLOWLY add the glue mix to the starch mix.
Mix with a spoon and then start mixing the remainder of the 'excess liquid' with your hands until all of the liquid is absorbed.
And then it was time to PLAY!
The more you played with it the 'bouncier' it became.
You can 'chop' it, stretch it, bounce it and leave it be and it will completely flatten!
As you can see it is totally winter break when you are still in PJs way later into the afternoon!
We let our slime sit on trays and it flattened and filled the space and we also found out it got COLD as it sat!
The recipe states it is good for about a week!
I know it is something I am going to bring into my kindergarten classroom during our winter unit too!
(the red 'sticks' are stirrers we 'borrowed' from 7-11)
We doubled the recipe and each got a good size 'tray' full of slime!
We are off to make our 2016 glasses and hats before it's time to ring in the new year!
Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!
Until next post...next year...
That looks like fabulous sensory play! I need to find somewhere that sells Elmers glue and liquid starch here in Scotland! I'm also write about how to make slime with glue please give me a feedback for this slime making recipe.
ReplyDeleteOn the off chance that you notice moderate printing execution from different applications just as Word, a printer driver issue is a possible reason. Detach the printer and uninstall it through Control Panel to clear the current records and settings for the unit, then, at that point download and run the most recent adaptation of the driver from the maker's site. Reattach the printer to reinstall the devices. This interaction applies the latest bug fixes from the producer, further develops equipment and programming similarity, and improves the printer arrangement. At the point when moderate network printing inside an association is examined, the most well-known conversations and setup rotate around which equipment to change or programming setups to change. Yet, regularly, the justification for moderate printing isn't brought about by such shortcomings. why does my printer print so slow All things considered, it lies in the actual idea of how printers are arranged. Along these lines, it is normally hard to track down the genuine answers for the problems. The most normal way that printers are arranged is through print workers. Print workers can cause moderate printing since they are a solitary point through which all print occupations are being sent and handled. So if there are failures in this one point, the printing can get wasteful in the whole network.Sometimes when an association has numerous workplaces, the most financially savvy approach to organizing printers may be to have a focal print worker to which the printers in all workplaces are arranged. The issue, in any case, is that each time somebody prints, the print record will be sent over WAN to the worker and back, which can cause substantial network traffic and moderate printing for distant workplaces.
