Collection of My Winter Boards In Review

I've had several people asking me about my winter boards. I started doing them the same year I started my blog!!  So here are all the images of the finished products.  They've changed a bit over the years, but you can approach it however you like.  When I first started, I just put paper up for the background.  Since then I've done both painted backgrounds & woven.  If you have questions...please leave me a comment!! I'd be happy to help out any way I can!  (if you have an odd couple days before Christmas break..you could do it then! Winter goes through Feb..right?)

  3. I love them. Have the children in a class contributed a little each? How much direction did you give and did they have a hand in assembling them too?

    1. Gretchen....you ask too much!! Haha June two days before holiday...I have my 10 classes(out of 26) each make a pieces. I assign each class different parts & teach them how to do it. I let the older student help me assemble part of it.

  4. I LOVE these!! I especially like that you have established a tradition at your school that I am sure everyone looks forward to seeing (and making) each year.
