Play Ideas for Little Snowflakes
Twirl quietly around the room to winter music and land softly when it stops. Blow cotton balls into the air and try to catch them. Count the snowflake's six arms together. Then play Snowstorm, swirling wildly at first and then very gently.
Fun Facts About Snowflakes
Snowflakes form high up in the clouds when water vapor freezes into tiny ice crystals. Almost every snowflake has six arms because of the way water molecules line up when they freeze. No two snowflakes are exactly alike. Even though ice is clear, snow looks white because all those crystals bounce light in every direction. The colder it is, the smaller and finer the flakes often are.
