Mitten Friends
When friends come to visit take a look at their mittens. Ask your child how the mitten matches their friend. Do they have flowers on them, a superhero, or are they a bright color? Do they match with friends who like superheroes, flowers or like to dress in bright colors?
Mitten Art
Take apart a knitted mitten. Dip pieces of the yarn in glue and let them create mitten shapes on a piece of paper. Once the glue dries encourage your child to draw in a pattern or letters on the mittens, then color them with markers or crayons.
Mime Time
Have your child put on their mittens and pretend to be a mime! They cannot talk, only move around quietly. See if they can show you, without talking, things like: Can I have a glass of juice? Can we play a game?
