Frosty Friends

So, it snowed here.  YAY!  I can't remember the last time I didn't get a white Christmas, and I don't want to ever have another one again. It's just NOT Christmas without snow, right?  right.  See, I knew you'd agree with me.  Well, while I was on break, I tried my hand at making a glyph.  I love, love, LOVE glyphs.  A teaching friend of mine introduced them to me when she told me about the monster glyph for Halloween.  Since then, I'm hooked.  So here's your one of a kind, original, made my me, Frosty Friends glyph. Click HERE for your downloadable copy.

 

Leave me a comment if you use it.  The more comments, the more motivated I'll be to make more!  It was my first try, so I hope you like it! :)

Monster Glyph

My first post!  It's a little intimidating.. but I'll give it my best shot! :)

For Halloween, my kiddos and I made some nifty monster glyphs.

First, I read 3 books to them:

There Was an Old Monster Who Swallowed a Tick
If You're a Monster and You Know It
Go Away, Big Green Monster!

They were all 3 great books, they begged to hear each one again and again! :)  The first 2 are great, too, because they have a website you can use to play the story as the kiddos work on their glyphs!

Here's our monsterous recipe!
Hair=How old are you?
Teeth=How many teeth have you lost?
Eyes= Square-boys; Circle-girl
Nose= "J" - blonde hair; "W"- brown hair
Ears= round-youngest child; pointy-middle child; squiggly-oldest child
Face= Favorite color

Here's how they turned out:
