We woke up to snow on the ground this morning… not much, but enough to cancel schools in N.C. and make a pretty white dusting all over everything…
What to do on a snowy day?
- Eat homemade gingerbread, prepped the night before…
- Make an easy snow scene- I cut up some cotton balls and gave Seth a sheet of blue construction paper. He glued them on as if they were falling from the sky, and then we did a nice layer of big ones across the bottom for snow drifts on the ground…
- Look at pictures of snowflakes on the internet… Seth told me unprompted that snow was frozen water. Sooo proud…
- Read lovely snowy day books like The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, The Mitten by Alvin Tresselt, Owl At Home by Arnold Lobel (he has the sweetest cozy fireside scenes in a lot of his books), and Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik
- Put the big boy in rain boots, a coat, and a hat and let him explore the back yard while watching from the windows… He stays out for 5 minutes. I don’t blame him. =)
