The Polar Express
Quilt
This quilt was made after reading The
Polar Express.
The idea for this quilt was taken from
Easy
Literature-Based
Quilts Around the Year by Mariann Cigrand. There are two ideas
for quilts for each month of the school year included in this book.
It is a great resource and uses some terrific books that are probably some
of your favorites!
We used green wrapping paper to cut the one
inch pieces for the trees. Plain green construction paper can also
be used. The black train has a small picture of each student glued
inside. So cute!
Holiday Bulletin Board and Photos
We made a fireplace with the cardboard bricks available in most craft or
discount stores. The logs were made using rolled pieces of brown
construction paper. The fire is also paper! Children made
stockings and practiced small motor skills in lacing their stockings.
Their names were made with glitter. We took everyone's picture in
front of the fireplace for parents.
