Let it Snow!
[30 Minutes]
Share in your child's enjoyment of winter by going out in the snow together! Make it a memorable experience for both of you by stopping to see...whatever!
You'll need:
• winter clothes and boots • camera (OPTIONAL) • sleds or similar snow equipment of your choice
What to do:
- Join your child in his enthusiasm to go out in the snow by telling him you want to go take pictures and have fun together!
- Look for people doing things they only do in the snow. Challenge him to see how many things he can see (slipping, sledding, falling).
- Challenge each other to discover signs of winter.
- Take pictures of him doing winter things such as sledding, throwing snowballs, slipping and sliding.
- End your winter snow walk with something special, such as hot chocolate or a snuggly story in front of a warm fire.
How to use:
At another time, when you have the developed pictures, sit down with your child and let him try to remember what he did first, second, and so on. Let him make a poster and/or storybook using the pictures and his own words!
Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.
- What winter things did we see and do today?
- What was the most fun? What else would you like to do next time?
Useful information:
While you are having fun together, your child is developing large muscle skills, observational skills, and language skills.
