Snowman Writing and Craft

We wrapped up our week of snowy fun, minus the snow, by writing about our favorite snowman. The kids had to write about their snowman first and then make a snowman that matched their writing. They are just too stinky cute!

This one has icicle hair. I just about died. Kids are so creative!

For the snowman, all the kiddos had to do was trace a large paper plate, a small paper plate, and a little plastic cup onto a large piece of white construction paper. Then, I set out colored construction paper scrapes, black beans, buttons, and sequins. The kids were so creative and did an amazing job.

If you are wondering, why yes those are earmuffs.

Here is a copy of the writing page if you want to make a snowman of you very own.

Snowman: What do we need to build a snowman?

Hi All! Last week we spend a lot of time with our dear snowman friends. Here is a list on what we need to make a snowman. We have been working on number lists and titles.

I talked earlier about my love for the story Snowmen at Night. The story that is next to Snowmen at Night is called Snow Family. It is a fabulous book for a text to text comparison. Lots of the snowmen look a lot alike and the characters act and do very similar things.

This picture below shows the super cute How to Build a Snowman Kit that my mom gave me. Inside is everything that you could possible need to make a snowman, minus the snow. My kiddos loved taking the items out and then adding them to our list.

 

I hope that wherever you are, you are getting a little bit of winter snow so you can go make your own snowmen. My kids asked, "Miss Gill, can we use the kit to make a snowman?" I said, "Yes, but we will need a little snow first." We did a snow dance. Nothing happened. Sigh....I'll keep it in my closet though, just in case. :)

Snowmen at Night

Let me tell you, I love snowmen. I love their funny faces made with carrots, buttons, string, sticks, rocks. I love their scarfs, mittens, and hats. I love the way they can make a yard instantly become whimsical. I think you get the point. One of my favorite books to teach around this time is Snowmen at Night. It is a hillarious story that tells about what snowmen do when everyone is asleep at night. It is a fun read and keeps the winter magic going even after Christmas.

Here are a couple of freebies that I am going to have my kiddos do this week during our snowman unit. Enjoy!
