Snow Day Activities
Here are some suggestions for having fun in the snow:
- Make a snow angel - great for exercising your arms, legs and core muscles
- Build a snow sculpture - it does not have to be a snowman!
- Go for a winter walk and search for footprints in the snow - who or what do you think made the footprints?
- Look for icicles - how do you think they were formed?
- Can you write your name in the snow?
- Try painting in the snow - simply mix snow and liquid paint in a pot then off you go!
- Hide some objects in the snow then try to find them - don't forget to wear gloves for this!
- Target practise - line up a set of objects then try to hit them using a snow ball
- We would love to see what you have been doing in the snow; why not post your photos on Evidence Me?Enter text...
