Snow Activities


Glitter Snow Pictures :

Mix equal parts white sand and silver glitter and place in large bowl with a ladle. Gather up black and dark blue paper and with a pencil draw a picture of a winter scene. Anywhere you would like there to be snow add glue, and holding your paper over the bowl use the ladle to pour the sand glitter over the glue areas, then shake off the excess glitter back into the bowl.

Snowman :

Make simple circle stencils in various sizes using cardboard leftover from cereal boxes. Using dark blue or black paper & white crayons trace the circle making them into snowmen. Decorate the snowman with glue and sand glitter. Cut pieces of wool felt to make hats, scarves, and mittens for your snowman.

Using self adhesive foam prints with snowflakes on them. Stick them onto pieces of wood or cardboard.
