White Christmas

To kick off the first week in December, why not talk about SNOW! Adapt this to the age of your child. With my four year old, we talked about how no two snowflakes are the same and that when magnified they make beautiful patterns. If your child can use scissors he will love cutting away making snowflakes.

We kept things light and simple by reading snowman related books. After which we made a picture of a snow man glittered with salt.

Variation: If your child is too young for scissors you can make the paper snowflake, cover with a thin coat of glue, and have your child sprinkle it with salt. Using a cardboard box top can help contain the mess.
