Snow Angels Homeschool Activity
Let it snow! We have a ton of snow and it is right before Christmas. We just had to play in it today. A2 discovered that snow is cold, and she was not happy about that! Even though A2 complained about being cold, I did convince her that there are a few fun things that you can do in the snow.
I showed the kids how to make snow angels! They had a really great time doing it, and Daddy had fun taking pictures of our masterpieces. I decided to tie our snow adventure into our Advent activities by having the kids make a heavenly host of snow angels! They worked hard to make snow angels all around the yard.
This activity is a fun way to engage a kinesthetic learner in a vocabulary lesson. Unlike the fine motor activity in my previous post about a heavenly host of angels, this activity focuses on gross motor skills. A2 responds better to fine motor work while C4 has more refined gross motor skills. By giving the children both experiences, I was able to add depth to thier understanding of the concept.
We might take this idea to another level and try to paint our snow angels next time. We might even try to make birdseed snow angels. It would be fun to see which birds and other animals eat the seeds!

How fun! We’re getting ready to read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats and I’m hoping to take them out to make snow angels. We have snow, but it fell on ice and froze together. I can walk across it in parts without sinking through at all. Not good for angels.
