How To Make A Snowman Sculpture - Part 1

On Friday, we made a snowman sculpture.  Here is how you can make a sculpture.

First, we made the dough. We mixed 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, and 3/4 cup of water. We stirred and mixed and rolled out the dough.

Next, we made 3 balls of dough. One for the bottom, one for the middle, and one for the top.

Then, we joined them together with toothpicks so they would not fall apart or fall over.

Finally we added a little toothpick for the nose and 2 toothpicks for the arms. We waited for them to dry over the weekend.

Here is what they look like today!

Our Bucket of Snow!

And down came the snow once again!  We decided to try to catch some of those big flakes that were falling with our water table!  We only left our container outside for an hour and boy did we ever collect a lot of snow! It got so stormy we decided we had better bring it inside...and just in time for a special announcement...SNOWDAY for all!

Snowday Fun!

There was much discussion about yesterday's snowday!  The kinderkids all enjoyed the first snowday of the season!  After MANY stories were shared, we created mini masterpieces to show some snowy fun!

We also wrote a poem to share our stories!



Snowday!

Making snowpeople,
Making Snowforts,
Making snowangels,
Sliding at a snowparty,
Throwing snowballs,
Drinking hot chocolate,
We love snowdays!

SnowDay!
Shoveling, drinking hot chocolate, making a snowman,
playing in the snow, sledding, freezing, making an igloo,
throwing snowballs, making snowangels...
We love snowdays!
