Let it Snow!

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Whether your area gets blanketed with snow each winter or you see nary a flake, here’s an activity to help your family celebrate the magic of snow together.

Here are a few tips before you begin:

  • Be prepared for a mess.
  • Cover your work area with newspaper or a drop cloth.
  • Use your kitchen or a tiled area to make cleanup less stressful.
  • Have your child wear a smock or an old t-shirt to protect her clothes.
  • Remember your own childhood and relish the FUN!
