More Fun with Winter

We're starting to wind down our winter study, and wanted to share few other fun learning things we've been doing this last month. 

Snow Plow Sensory Bin

White Snow Dough

Build a Snowman Game
This collaborative game practices literacy skills (word/picture differentiation), fine motor, and spatial awareness, along with some friendship skills. Roll the dice and draw that part of the snowman on the board. 
It was always fun to see how the collaborative snowman turned out. Usually a little crazy and fun. :) 

Winter Dramatic Play
We've had lots of hot chocolate and soup making dramatic play.


The Melting Snowman
This silly-putty snowman is always a favorite. It's a bit tougher to work with than play dough, so it's extra great for fine motor exercise!



Snowball Catapult
Perfect for a play snowball fight...
 

Animals and Insects in the Winter
We read several books as we explored what different animals and insects do in the winter.

Matching Snowflakes
Another group game that focuses on visual discrimination (an important skill for reading). 
Find your matching snowflake partner!


Shiny Snow/Icicle Pictures
Painting on shiny paper turned out to be even more exciting than regular paper.
