Snowmen Story Time: January 25-26, 2016

Books:

All You Need for a Snowman by Alice Schertle *
Sneezy the Snowman by Maureen Wright *
Snowballs by Lois Ehlert *
Snowzilla by Janet Lawler

Craft: Name Snowman
This week's craft was based on the picture at right.  Each child was given enough paper circle snowballs to write out their name.  They also got a snowman's head to color.  All the snowballs were then glued onto a long strip of paper.

Literacy Extension:
- Practice spelling by having your child spell the names of their family members.
- After reading Snowballs and looking at the back of the book at the various items used to make their snowmen, ask your child to gather a bag's worth of items to use for snowmen.
