We had a lot of fun creating our entry to the Christmas Door Decorating contest! We made our own Polar Express! The children colored their own boxcar for the train. We love The Polar Express story written by Chris Van Allsburg.
We added white glue to the rooftops of the boxcar and sprinkled white glitter on top.
Lots of fun! The children added a photograph of themselves in one of the boxcar windows.
The children added a photograph of themselves in one of the boxcar windows. I goofed with the engine placement!
We decided to paint the railroad tracks using black paint.
One of our rainy day classroom supervisors helped us finish the job!
We love using glitter and made our Christmas light houses using white glue and red glitter.
The children drew little vignettes of the inside of their houses in the windows.
We also included another photograph of them in one of the windows!
We will be using these houses as a special cover for a book we created about Christmas and the five senses. You can find the pages for that project on my Christmas Fun post or on my Teachers Pay Teachers site.
We also had a great time on our Polar Express Day! We dressed in our p.j.s and had hot chocolate with mini marshmallows and yummy treats just like the children on the train! We did a few activities together and enjoyed the movie The Polar Express based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg.
