Play Ideas for Little Snowmen
In a melting game, everyone stands stiff as a snowman until the sun comes out, then slowly melts to the floor. Toss soft paper snowballs into a bucket. Stack three big pillows to build a snowman together. Then dance and catch pretend snowflakes to quiet winter music.
Fun Facts About Snowmen and Snow
People have been building snowmen for hundreds of years. Wet, sticky snow works best because it packs together easily. Fresh snow is actually mostly air trapped between tiny ice crystals. That's why a fresh blanket of snow soaks up sound and everything outside gets so quiet. One of the tallest snow figures ever built, in Maine, stood more than 120 feet tall.
