| Snow covered extension |
On Tuesday morning we woke to find everything covered in a blanket of snow! It was the first snowfall of the winter and Poppet immediately requested that we "make a noman"!
We had toddler group in the morning and Poppet still naps in the afternoon so I wasn't sure when we would fit in some fun in the snow. We got home at lunchtime with Little fast asleep in the pushchair so we grabbed the opportunity, ate a chocolate bar each in lieu of lunch , and went to play outside
Poppet loves making footprints in the snow, but we noticed someone else had got there first (bloody cats!).
She dubiously followed my instructions to lay down in the show and make a snow angel. She wasn't that impressed with the finished result.
Unfortunately the snow was really powdery and we just couldn't get it to form a snow ball to make a snowman, so instead we made a 'snow-boat' (it was originally a snow car but then Poppet started questioning me on wheels so I quickly changed plans). She was very happy jumping in and out of her boat!
We dug all of the pine cones from Poppet's play garden up out of the snow as I have plans to use them in some Christmas crafts; Poppet really liked finding them - "there's another one!".
We did eventually return to our snowman building attempts; it took an age of shovelling snow into a pile to get this far. At which point Poppet called time on our efforts and requested a hot chocolate break, and I happily obliged.
