Let children fold
coffee filters in half, then fourths and eighths. Cut little “bites” out of the folded edges. Open. You can make colorful snowflakes by coloring the coffee
filters with water soluble markers before cutting them.
Hint! Make snowflakes out of newspaper,
tissue paper, wrapping paper, and other types of recycled paper.
Ice Skating
Give each child 2
paper plates. Demonstrate how to
place these on the floor and put one foot on each plate. Slide your feet as if skating. Put on some waltz music and let the
children skate, twist, and turn.
Play “freeze.” When you
stop the music children must “freeze” in their positions. When the music begins again they may
continue to skate.
Snowman
Addition
Draw snowmen on
poster board similar to the one shown.
Laminate. Children make
sets (or write addends) in the top two balls and then put the sum in the bottom
ball.
Snow Seeds
– (Pamela Pounds, AL)
To make snow
seeds put rice and white glitter in a ziplock bag with this note:
Sprinkle freely
in your yard.
Close your eyes,
and wish real hard.
If you can get
the north wind to blow,
In the morning
you’ll have snow.
If for some
reason all you get is rain,
Pick the seeds
up and try again.
