Snowman

This week, we read the story Snowballs by Lois Ehlert. In the story, children wait for a “perfect snowball day” to build a snowman using some things they had saved throughout the year. The illustrations are so creative and hopefully have sparked some ideas for your child's Snowman Project!
For our January Family Project, children will work with their families to create a paper snowman using various objects. They may want to make a snowdad, a snowmom, a baby snowman, a snowcat, etc. Will your snowman have a scarf, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hat, arms, etc.?  Your family gets to decide!  Begin by helping your child cut out the attached snowman… and then get started!
What types of objects could your family use? How about seeds, popcorn, raisins, peanuts, kernels of corn, ribbons, string, buttons, bottle caps, plastic forks, sticks, jewelry, etc. Whatever you find!
