We’ve been enjoying a lot of fun winter and Christmas themed books this month. It doesn’t feel as Christmas-y, if that’s a word, around here because we don’t have any snow at the moment.
It’s cold and gloomy but no snow on the ground in Ontario, Canada in December is just unheard of. I’m not complaining because at this point, we’re usually getting a regular routine of snow shoveling so as long as it snows for Christmas I’ll be happy.
We read The Snowman
by Raymond Briggs which is always a fun read. We also found the animated version on Youtube which my kids enjoyed seeing the book come to life.
I created an 8 page snowman tracing worksheet that your little ones can use to practice cutting or tracing. Great for getting those little hands a bit more coordinated to get ready for writing skills.
Extend this activity by reading your favorite snowman book, build your own snowman outside in the snow, or bring some snow indoors to create your own snowman sensory bin. You could also make your own out of rice.
