Snow Day

 

 
We were snowed in on All Hallow's Eve or Dia de las Muertas, so we did lots of crafts and a science experiment. The skull garland can be found here. The boys worked on skull coloring pages, while I cut the template out. We made skulls out of playdough and were also going to make pan de muerta, but we didn't get a chance. We're going to make it this week. They also drew several pictures that are hanging on the fridge.

 Our science experiment was making snowflakes. The only ingredients are Borax and water. The directions are found here. We also studied black holes.




 


We had low key Halloween because it was really cold and the boys did not want to walk around. We went to a fall festival in town and a trunk-or-treat at one of the local churches, which were both held indoors. Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!
