Let it Snow

"S" is for the Season with Snow

Learn why the sun causes the snowmen to go.

Introduce the Letter "S" for Snow and for the number 6. Count and sequence the cookies. Using the sense of touch have them hold snow if possible and answer how it feels. Learn about the 5 senses. With the "Snowmen in a Row" verse, teach them to sequence, to count and to subtract. The sun will melt the snow. Sequence the 6 snowmen cards by number. Match the 2 snowmen that are the same. Copy and cut out the 12 cards ahead. Sort colored craft sticks, pom-poms, buttons, or whatever by their color. If you use the pom pom bucket of colors with the tongs, then have each of the tots draw a color card and with the tongs sort the color to their plate or styrofoam bowl.  Add up each color. 

Match the 2 that are the 

Same (Ss)

Color sorting cards for the pom poms

Each tot will receive a color pom-pom card. The tot's will all extract the colored pom poms in the center that is drawn on their card. They will move it with tongs to their own paper plate. After the pom poms are gone, then count up each color that has now been sorted out.
