I for Igloo

This igloo craft was a lot of fun to make and I think it turned out really cute too!
 
What you need:  blank label stickers (I actually used mailing labels and cut them down to size), construction paper, scissors, glue, black marker
What you do:  Have your little one build a wall on the construction paper, using the labels.  Once they're finished, turn the paper over and draw a semi-circle on the back.  Either have them cut out along the line or you do the cutting for them.  To create the door, cut out a second semi-circle and have them color a black door, then glue the smaller piece on top of the larger one.  After gluing his igloo together, J added some snow to his picture.
This was honestly supposed to go with a winter unit I was going to do with J... but 3rd trimester exhaustion has set in so the unit didn't happen.  I ended up cutting out the upper and lower case letter I, letting him fill those in with "ice blocks" and decided reinforcement learning was enough this day!  J was quite proud of his final work of art.

This idea is from the Frugal Family Fun Blog.
