Morning Circle:
Review last lesson's "letter of the week" by saying "Merry Christmas!" Say, "What does
'Merry' begin with?" Make the "mmm" sound. Encourage the children when they guess the
correct letter. Introduce today's letter by explaining that another word that means
"Christmas" is "Noel." "Noel" begins with the letter "n." Have three objects ready in the
letter bag. For example, you might have a necklace, a nut, and a nose (the funny plastic ones
with attached glasses are cute.) Give the children clues about each item to see if they can
guess what it is before taking it out of the bag.

Thematic Snack:
Let the children make "dirty" snowballs. Make sure children have clean hands,
then set a sheet of waxed paper in front of each child at the snack table. Drop a
large spoonful each of marshmallow cream, raisins, and crisped rice onto the
paper. "Powder" each child's hands with confectioner's sugar, to help keep
sticking to a minimum, then demonstrate making a "snowball" out of the
marshmallow cream. Let children roll their snowball into the "dirt," collecting
raisins and puffed rice along the way. Then tell the children that in this instance,
it's o.k. to eat dirty snow!

| Music & Movement: Have an indoor snowball fight! Pour out several bags of large white cotton balls on the floor. Let children lift up and drop the "snow," throw it, toss it at each other, and even try to make snow angels. Play "Let It Snow" in the background to help set the mood. |
Present Wrapping Center

wrapping paper, scissors, tape, ribbons, and bows. Let the

Shaving Cream Table
Have children put on paint shirts, then dispense a large
amount of white shaving foam onto a long table. Let the
children make swirls and piles of "snow." This is a great
sensory activity, and it really puts a shine on the tables!

Shape Snowflakes
Have a selection of shapes cut from cardstock in the center of a

ovals. Provide crayons (with the paper removed) and scraps of

children how to lay the lace over the cardstock shapes and rub a
pattern onto them. Use a hole punch to make a hanging hole in
the top if desired, and hang them around the room.

"Dream Snow" by Eric Carle
It's December 24th, and the old farmer settles down for a
winter's nap, wondering how Christmas can come when
there is no snow! It is in his dream that he imagines a
snowstorm coming and covering him and his animals—
named One, Two, Three, Four and Five—in a snowy
blanket.

Read: "Dream Snow," by Eric Carle. You might
like to play "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" softly
in the background while reading the story. Ask the
children what they look forward to most at Christmas.
Most will probably say "presents," but others might say
putting up the tree, candy, or snow. Introduce today's
circle story by saying that lots of folks hope for a snowy
Christmas day.

| Bible Song: "Love, Love," from "Songs of Praise: 15 Classic Songs for Kids" by Cedarmont Kids Classics. (Traditional lyrics below) |
| Bible Verse Bracelets: 1 John 4:10: "...He loved us and sent His son." |
| Swirly, Snowy, Starry Night Pictures In front of each child place a small jar or bowl filled with about a 50/50 ratio of sugar and lukewarm water. Let the children stir the water to observe the sugar dissolving. This may prompt a discussion about "is it there if you can't see it?" - which can be an excellent time to discuss Jesus! Provide colored chalk and a sheet of heavy dark blue or black construction paper for each child. Let the children dip the chalk into the bowls or jars of sugar water (stirring it a little each time) and then apply the wet chalk to the paper in swirls and whirls. Then let the children paste small cotton balls or wisps and foil stars onto their creations. The sugar crystals will sparkle once the piece it dry. Van Gogh, look out! |
