Snow Pictures

This was another snow bound activity that we did. I gave the girls each a blue, white, green, brown
sheet of paper. Instead of using scissors, which it seems we do alot of these days, we tore
the paperand glued it to create unique snow scences. They wanted me to work with them, but I waited
a little while after they had begun, to start. Otherwise, my 5 year old, would want to do
exactly what I was doing. I wanted them each to capture their fun experiences that they were
having in the snow on paper. They each incorporated something about sledding down the big hill.
By the way, the green is the top of trees and the brown is their trunks.

Painting The Snow

Painting The Snow

The girls had so much fun doing this. This was another spur of the moment type activity. We had been snow bound for many days during our 2 back to back blizzards that left mountains of snow all around. I gathered up 2 spray bottles (all I could find at the time), filled each one about half way with water (filled would have been to heavy for them to manage), and added food coloring to dye the water--I used blue and red. They loved making designs in the snow and we also did their names. Just be careful not to get it on clothing. I didn't add too much food coloring to ours, so it wasn't a problem. We had to hold the spray bottles closer to the snow to get the color to show up better, but it worked great and we had so much FUN!!
