Ann Tack

books + activities for Christmas + Chanukkah

 Santa's reindeer are sick with the flu, what will he do?

I have a hint, it has to do with HOT Chocolate.   Read this book with the kiddos and make some hot chocolate from scratch, there is a recipe in the back! Cozy up and enjoy some cocoa together! Enjoy your  weekend!


...and for my friends celebrating Chanukkah, I suggest this adorable book.  It's about an old woman named
Bubba Brayna, who can not hear or see well.  While she is preparing Latkes for the celebration she mistakes an unusual guest for the Rabbi and sits down to a game of dreidel with the bear!  There are directions on how to make your own dreidel and directions on how to play!

how to make a pet blob

this is Herc's pet blob BOB.  we made this easy, silly project using only 3 ingredients plus googly eyes.

Materials: White school glue like Elmers.
                Borax, can be purchased at any grocery store or Target
                Food Coloring
                 2 medium bowls and water
                Googly eyes
How to:

             1.  Mix 1/3 c. warm water with 1/2 c. glue. (that is one regular sized glue bottle.) Add a few drops of food coloring, stir and set aside.
       
             2.  In another bowl add 3/4 c. warm water and 2 tsp. Borax.  Mix well until diluted. Pour mixture into bowl one and combine.

            3.  Stir together until glob forms. (there will be liquid in bowl, that is fine) Remove blob from bowl and kneed with hands for 2-3 minutes.

Now add some googly eyes and there is your pet blob! Store in air tight jar or plastic baggy.
