Snowy Day Fun
Here are some fun snowy day activities:
- When it's too cold or windy, bring in a bucket of snow - Using old markers kids can decorate the snow, or use spray bottles with food coloring to color the snow
- Its a great day to bake - kids love to mix ingredients
- Measure the snow to see how much is there in the morning, afternoon and evening
- Put shaving cream or hair in a bag and make drawings, letters or numbers (tape the opening of a zip lock bag to prevent a mess)
- Make a fort and add flashlights to read a book
We would love to hear about your fun snowy day activities. Please send me an email and we can add them to our list. roofe@bpsk12.org
